Abstract：Objective:To improve the diagnosis and treatment of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CRCC),we investigated the clinical features of CRCC patients in our hospital.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the clinico-pathologic data of 76 patients with CRCC seen in our hospital from January 2010 to July 2013.The mean age of these patients at diagnosis was 49 years-old,including 40 males and 36 females.All tumors were localized unilaterally, with 37 in left kidney and 39 in right kidney.Results:All of the 76 patients successfully received nephrectomy.Forty-seven patients underwent radical nephrectomy,29 patients received nephron sparing surgery.Seventy-three patients were treated with laparoscopic surgery and 3 were treated with open surgery,with the similar mean operative time. The mean operative blood loss was significantly less in laparoscopic surgery group.The average maximum diameter of tumors was 4.6 cm.Among them,64 patients were at pT1 N0 M0 ,10 at pT2 N0 M0 ,1 at pT3 N0 M0 and 1 at pT1 N0 M1 .The pathologic Fuhrman grade of CRCC was G1 in 50 cases,G2 in 16 cases,G3 in 6 cases,G4 in 4 cases. All patients were followed up with a mean duration of 33.8 months and no local recurrence was found.Conclusions:CRCC is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma with infrequent recurrence and metastasis.Surgery is the standard treatment for CRCC.The laparoscopic surgery has similar treatment efficacy to open surgery,but deserves signifi-cant micro-invasive advantages.CRCC patients have favorable prognosis.
