507 Background: Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney (TubCC) is a new entity of tumor not listed in the 2004 WHO classification. The tumor comprised tubules forming duct-like structures exhibiting hobnail change, and resembled collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) by immunostaining; thus, this tumor was named low grade CDC. Since then, similar tumors have been reportedly called tubulocystic carcinoma (TubCC)We explored the possibility whether Aldo-keto-reductase-1B1 (AKR1B1), osmoregulatory protein and abundant in collecting duct, can be used as a marker for the pathologic diagnosis of TubCC. Methods: We prepared anti-AKR1B1 monoclonal antibodies, examined expression of AKR1B1 protein in the human normal kidney. Immunohistochemical expressions of AKR1B1 was examined on normal kidney, 4 cases of TubCC, 10 cases of papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC), and 10 cases of invasive urothelial carcinoma (iUC). Results: AKR1B1 expression distributed preferentially in the renal medulla and not in the cortex, reflected by its high concentration in medulla (2.12 ±1.35 μg/mg) compared with cortex (0.13 ± 0.03 μg/mg). Immunohistochemically, AKR1B1 was strongly positive in 3 of 4 TubCC cases. AKR1B1 was negative in cases of either iUC or pRCC. Conclusions: Although the present study was small and preliminary, AKR1B1 may be a more specific and potentially useful marker for TubCC. [Table: see text]

Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma accounts for about 20% of all kidney cancers. Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney (TCK) is a newly described entity with distinct molecular, genetic and clinical features. In 2013, it was one of five new renal tumors to be recognized by the International Society of Urological Pathology Vancouver Classification of Renal Neoplasia. We describe here a case of TCK with a rare genetic signature, unusual metastases and limited response to an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor in what we believe is the youngest patient on record to date.
