Abstract

Renal cell tumors with eosinophilic/oncocytic cells include oncocytic papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity, oncocytoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe renal tumor, succinate dehydrogenase-deficient renal cell carcinoma, translocation-associated renal cell carcinoma, etc. Recently, several novel and evolving oncocytic renal tumors have been identified, such as eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma, eosinophilic vacuolated tumor, and low-grade oncocytic tumor. In addition, fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma occasionally presents with a low-grade oncocytic morphology. Although these entities demonstrate some overlapping morphological features with oncocytoma and chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, they do have some unique morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular profiles. In this review, we present an update on selected oncocytic renal cell tumors (eosinophilic vacuolated tumor, low-grade oncocytic tumor, eosinophilic solid and cystic renal cell carcinoma, low-grade fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma, and hybrid oncocytic/chromophobe renal tumor) and discuss their morphologies, immunohistochemical profiles, molecular genetic profiles, and biological behaviors.
