L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1CAM) Expression and Molecular Alterations Distinguish Low-Grade Oncocytic Tumor From Eosinophilic Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Renal low-grade oncocytic tumor (LOT) is a newly recognized type of kidney tumor, categorized as an "other oncocytic tumor" in the 2022 WHO classification, and its features are still under investigation.
  • A comparison of LOT and eosinophilic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (E-chRCC) reveals distinct clinical and histological differences; LOT primarily affects women and has a unique small-nested pattern, while E-chRCC shows solid and tubular forms and is more common in men.
  • Molecular analysis indicates that LOT frequently harbors mutations in the mTOR pathway, specifically in the MTOR and RHEB genes, while E-chRCC lacks these mutations and displays chromosomal losses

Article Abstract

Renal low-grade oncocytic tumor (LOT) is a recently recognized renal cell neoplasm designated within the "other oncocytic tumors" category in the 2022 World Health Organization classification system. Although the clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features reported for LOT have been largely consistent, the data are relatively limited. The morphologic overlap between LOT and other low-grade oncocytic neoplasms, particularly eosinophilic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (E-chRCC), remains a controversial area in renal tumor classification. To address this uncertainty, we characterized and compared large cohorts of LOT (n = 67) and E-chRCC (n = 69) and revealed notable differences between the 2 entities. Clinically, LOT predominantly affected women, whereas E-chRCC showed a male predilection. Histologically, although almost all LOTs were dominated by a small-nested pattern, E-chRCC mainly showed solid and tubular architectures. Molecular analysis revealed that 87% of LOT cases harbored mutations in the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway, most frequently in MTOR and RHEB genes; a subset of LOT cases had chromosomal 7 and 19q gains. In contrast, E-chRCC lacked mTORC1 mutations, and 60% of cases displayed chromosomal losses characteristic of chRCC. We also explored the cell of origin for LOT and identified L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM), a collecting duct and connecting tubule principal cell marker, as a highly sensitive and specific ancillary test for differentiating LOT from E-chRCC. This distinctive L1CAM immunohistochemical labeling suggests the principal cells as the cell of origin for LOT, unlike the intercalated cell origin of E-chRCC and oncocytoma. The ultrastructural analysis of LOT showed normal-appearing mitochondria and intracytoplasmic lumina with microvilli, different from what has been described for chRCC. Our study further supports LOT as a unique entity with a benign clinical course. Based on the likely cell of origin and its clinicopathologic characteristics, we propose that changing the nomenclature of LOT to "Oncocytic Principal Cell Adenoma of the Kidney" may be a better way to define and describe this entity.
