Renal medullary carcinoma, also referred to as the seventh sickle cell nephropathy, typically affects young African Americans with sickle cell trait, or, less frequently, patients with sickle cell disease. The existence of renal medullary carcinoma without a concomitant hemoglobinopathy is a topic of controversy. The typical patient is a young male of African or Mediterranean descent, with hematuria and/or flank pain. Most patients have metastatic disease at the time of presentation. The tumor is characteristically a poorly circumscribed mass in the medullary region, commonly showing variable amounts of hemorrhage and necrosis. Microscopically, a characteristic reticular or cribriform pattern with a striking desmoplastic stromal response and a robust mixed inflammatory infiltrate is observed. Collecting duct carcinoma, malignant rhabdoid tumor, urothelial carcinoma, and other subtypes of renal cell carcinoma are in the differential diagnosis. Because of the advanced stage of disease at presentation and the aggressive nature of this malignant neoplasm, survival is poor even with chemotherapy; however, isolated reports of prolonged survival have been documented.

572 Background: Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is an aggressive malignancy affecting predominantly young African Americans with sickle cell trait (SCT) or disease (SCD), while a pathologically similar collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) affects patients without sickle cell trait. Clinical responses to chemotherapy and IL-2 in RMC/CDC are poor and novel therapies are needed. Methods: 9 patients with RMC (ages 13-58 y. o., all male) and 15 patients (ages 26-74 y. o., M:F = 13:2) with collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) were studied. Expression of PD-L1 was evaluated with 2 monoclonal antibodies (SP142 and SP263) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were evaluated for PD1 expression (MRQ-22 antibody) using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Additional studies included ALK protein expression (D5F3 antibody), gene translocation (break apart FISH), next generation sequencing (NGS), and microsatellite instability (MSI). Results: Cancer cell PD-L1 expression above the threshold ( ≥ 2+, ≥ 5%) was seen in 7/9 RMC and 5/13 CDC cases. Concordance between 2 PD-L1 antibodies was 94.4%. PD-1+ TIL were absent in 6/18 cases and variably present in 12/18 cases (from 1 to > 15 TIL/40x power field). No MSI was detected in any of the cases tested (0/6). No case expressed ALK protein, but one case of CDC showed ALK gene re-arrangement. Mutations were identified in SMARCB1, FH, TP53 (3x), ATM, BRCA2, CHEK2 (2x), NF2 (3x), SETD2, and CDKN2A. No mutations in VHL or KDR were detected. One patient with RMC (and SCT) achieved complete clinical remission after treatment with bevacizumab plus paclitaxel. Conclusions: RMC and CDC strongly express PD-L1 in the majority of cases (12/22), suggesting that these patients may benefit from targeting the PD-L1/PD1 interaction. The absence of MSI in these cancers indicates a different mechanism of PD-L1 upregulation from colorectal carcinomas. Consistent with our previous study that showed frequent activation of (pseudo)hypoxia-induced pathways in RMCs (Human Pathology 2011;42:1979), we describe a case of RMC successfully treated with anti-VEGF therapy.
