We report the clinical, pathologic, and immunohistochemical features of an unusual tumor of the kidney composed of densely eosinophilic, polygonal epithelioid cells. The patients were a 56-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man. The renal tumors were discovered during follow-up for breast carcinoma and evaluation for abdominal pain, respectively. The tumors closely resembled oncocytoma in routine sections, but were negative for epithelial markers and positive for HMB-45, a pattern of reactions characteristic of angiomyolipoma. In the woman, a single additional microscopic angiomyolipoma was present in the renal parenchyma at a distance from the main tumor. Both patients are alive without recurrence 7 and 10 years after surgery, respectively. Based on clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features, we conclude that these tumors are oncocytoma-like angiomyolipomas.

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a mesenchymal neoplasm that belongs to the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor family (PEComa). AMLs can be subtyped into several patterns dependent on cell type, morphology, and tissue composition. One of the patterns, oncocytoma-like AML is a rare entity with only three cases published in the literature.

It has been 35 years since Professor Thoenes and his colleagues discovered chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Since then, our knowledge about this tumour entity has changed and novel tumour entities have been discovered. The aim of this review is to discuss recent molecular findings and open questions in diagnosing chromophobe-like/oncocytic neoplasms.

The perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) is a unique cell type coexpressing contractile proteins (mainly α-smooth muscle actin), melanocytic markers, including microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), and estrogen and progesterone receptors. It is constantly present in a group of tumors called PEComas. Renal PEComas include the common angiomyolipoma as well as less common lesions such as microscopic angiomyolipoma, intraglomerular lesions, angiomyolipoma with epithelial cysts, epithelioid angiomyolipoma, oncocytoma-like angiomyolipoma and lymphangioleiomyomatosis of the renal sinus.

Purpose: Renal hybrid tumors (HT) are characterized by the association of both oncocytes- and chromophobe-cells within the same tumor. They have been reported in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dube (BHD) syndrome. The aim of this report was to describe two cases of HT and summarize recent literature.
