MED15 :: TFE3 fusion renal cell carcinoma with extensive cystic change: A clinicopathologic and molecular genetic study of 2 cases, with an emphasis on differential diagnosis
2024
Overview
TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) harbor gene fusions between TFE3 and 1 of many partner genes. MED15::TFE3 fusion RCC is rare, often cystic, and easily misdiagnosed.
This study aimed to characterize 2 cases of MED15::TFE3 fusion RCC with extensive cystic change using fluorescence in situ hybridization and targeted RNA sequencing.
Both patients were young adult women aged 29 and 35 years. Radiologically, both presented with a cystic Bosniak category II renal lesion. The cysts measured 9.3 cm and 4.8 cm in greatest dimension. Both patients underwent cyst enucleation, and neither had tumor recurrence or metastasis at 26 and 6 months of follow-up, respectively. Microscopically, both tumors were entirely cystic, with thick, fibrous cystic walls lined by small clusters of cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm and uniform, round nuclei with inconspicuous nucleoli. There were also small aggregations of similar clear cells within the cystic walls. Foci of basement membrane-like material depositions were noted in 1 case; calcifications were observed in both cases. Both cases demonstrated nuclear positivity for PAX8 and TFE3 and cytoplasmic staining for Melan-A; HMB45, CAIX, and CK7 were negative. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed that both tumors were positive for TFE3 rearrangements. RNA sequencing identified MED15::TFE3 gene fusions in both cases.
The main differential diagnosis of MED15::TFE3 fusion RCC includes multilocular cystic renal neoplasm of low malignant potential and atypical renal cysts. Molecular confirmation of TFE3 fusion is essential for establishing the correct diagnosis.
