717 Background: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) is a rare but aggressive subtype of RCC, and an understanding of their genomic landscape is lacking. Methods: Thirteen FH-deficient RCC and matched normal samples from our medical center were used for whole-exome sequencing and molecular profiling. Transcriptomic sequencing data were analyzed from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) RCC samples and two independent datasets of FH-mutated RCC. For each patient in our cohort, clinical outcomes were recorded, with median follow-up until March, 2019. Results: We identified FH-deficient RCC had high mutation burden, frequent somatic mutations in MUC4, MUC16, ANKRD6 and PRDM16 and germline pathologic FANCD2 mutation. In contrast to mainly RCC subtypes, FH-deficient RCC exhibited elevated mutational signatures of homologous recombination deficiency (7/13, 53%) and microsatellite instability (4/13, 30%). Moreover, we revealed that FH-deficient RCC was characteristic of an immunogenic tumor type, with high tumor-specific neoantigen burdens, enhanced immune cells infiltration but immunosuppressive microenvironment. In our cohort, 11 patients received systematic treatments; 63% (5/8) responded poorly to antiangiogenic or anti-mammalian target of rapamycin agents, but all (6/6) achieved benefit from immune checkpoint blockade monotherapy or combination with antiangiogenic agents. Conclusions: Our study provides a better understanding of the mutational landscape of FH-deficient RCC, highlighting the potential of immunotherapy for treating this patient populations.

Context.— Renal malignancies can be divided into cortical- and medullary-based tumors, the latter of which classically infiltrate the renal parenchyma by extending between nonneoplastic structures. Although high-grade cortical tumors can rarely exhibit the same growth pattern, the infiltrative morphology should elicit a differential diagnosis to be considered in each case. However, these diagnoses can be challenging to distinguish, especially on small renal biopsy samples. Objective.— To provide an overview of the clinical, gross, and microscopic findings; genetic and molecular alterations; and immunohistochemical evaluation of medullary-based renal tumors and other tumor types with overlapping morphologies and growth patterns. Data Sources.— Literature review and personal observations were used to compile the information in this review. Conclusions.— Collecting duct carcinoma is a prototypical medullary-based tumor, and although diagnostic criteria exist, it remains a diagnosis of exclusion, especially with ancillary techniques aiding the recognition of established as well as more recently described neoplasms. Other medullary-based malignancies included in the differential diagnosis include renal medullary carcinoma/renal cell carcinoma unclassified with medullary phenotype, fumarate hydratase–deficient renal cell carcinoma, and upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Moreover, other rare entities should be excluded, including metastatic carcinoma, lymphoma, and melanoma. In addition to potential prognostic differences, accurate diagnoses can have important surgical and clinical management implications.
