ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate clinicopathological features, molecular genetic characteristics, differential diagnoses and prognosis of renal cell carcinoma in teenagers.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Microscopic and immunohistochemical features of 46 cases of renal cell carcinomas in teenagers were reviewed along with the clinical follow-up data. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH), analysis of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene and screening for VHL gene mutations were performed in all of the tumors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were 19 Xp11.2 translocations/TFE3 gene fusions renal clear cell carcinomas (Xp11 RCCs), 9 chromophobe renal cell carcinomas (CCRCCs), 17 papillary renal cell carcinomas (PRCCs), and 1 unclassified renal cell carcinoma (RCC). All of the 19 Xp11.2 translocation RCCs showed a moderate to strong immunoreactivity for TFE, however, no TFEB expression was obtained. There were 4 histological patterns in the Xp11 RCC cases including 8 tumors possessing a nested to papillary architecture resembling to the t(X;17) ASPL-TFE3 phenotype; 6 tumors possessing a morphologic feature like the t(X;1) PRCC-TFE3 phenotype; 4 cases morphologically resembling to clear cell RCC; and 1 Xp11 RCC case, with a special morphologic feature not searched yet in the literature, including a ground glass appearance of the nuclei accompanying occasionally with grooves on the nuclear surface; nucleoli inconspicuous with accumulation of abundant mucin-like substance in the stroma. VHL gene analysis revealed deletions at 3p25-26 in one clear cell RCC and one papillary type 2 RCC. The papillary type 2 RCC had also a family history of VHL disease, with a germline G→C mutation at a splicing site of position 553+5. There were no VHL mutations detected in the remaining 45 RCCs. Statistical analysis of tumor stage and outcome revealed that TFE+ RCCs of teen-agers were more frequently associated with a higher pT3/pT4 stage and a poorer outcome than that of the TFE-RCCs (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>RCCs of the teenagers have a different morphologic spectrum and genetic background from the RCCs seen in adults. Among RCCs of the teen-agers, Xp11.2 translocation tumors are the most common RCCs and have a poorer prognosis than that of the TFE-RCCs.</p>
