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]
