The term chromophobe refers to histological structures which do not stain readily, and thus appear more relatively pale under the microscope—hence their "fear" ("phobia") of "color" ("chrome").
[edit] Cancer
"Chromophobe" also refers to a type of renal cell carcinoma (distinct from "clear cell").[1]
