Transcription factor EB (TFEB)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) exhibits diverse gene fusion patterns and heterogeneous clinicopathologic features. Rare TFEB-amplified RCCs have been described recently and are associated with a more aggressive clinical course. Herein, we report a case of an 86-year-old man with a solid 9.2-cm kidney tumor that showed a diffuse high-grade sarcomatoid morphology. The tumor demonstrated a novel BYSL::TFEB fusion containing exons 1-2 of the BYSL gene fused to exons 3-10 of TFEB via next-generation sequencing by using NextSeq sequencer. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies displayed concurrent high-copy number TFEB amplification in two distinct patterns, a balanced increase of 5' and 3' copies, and solely increased 5' copies, and mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) gene amplification by using TFEB (6p21.1) dual-color break-apart probe and MDM2 FISH probe. Notably, the tumor showed a distinctive immunoprofile with overexpressions of TFEB, epithelial membrane antigen, Cathepsin K, and PDL-1 (SP263). FISH test for transcription factor binding to IGHM enhancer 3 (TFE3) was negative for rearrangement and corresponding immunonegativity of TFE3. These findings not only expand the repertoire of known TFEB fusion partners implicated in tumorigenesis, but also may provide novel information for target therapy.
