Malignant rhabdoid tumour of the kidney: report of a case showing focal glomeruloid differentiation.

چکیده
A five-month-old male baby presented with an abdominal mass which was found on computerised tomography (CT) to be involving the left kidney. Nephrectomy and histopathological study showed morphological featues of a malignant rhabdoid tumour. The tumour cells stained strongly for cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen and less intensely for vimentin. Electron microscopy revealed concentric whorled arrays of intermediate filaments within the tumour cell cytoplasm. The child was put on post-operative chemotherapy and radiotherapy but developed bilateral lung metastases and died three months after surgery.

Pronounced intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions were another si...
متن کاملOriginally misdiagnosed rhabdoid tumour of the kidney. A case report and differential diagnosis.
Rhabdoid tumour of the kidney (RTK) is considered to be one of the most aggressive neoplasms of early life. The histogenesis of RTK still remains a matter of controversy. Immunohistochemistry usually shows diffuse reactivity for vimentin, focal reactivity to the epithelial marker, variable expression of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal markers, and loss of INI1 protein staining. Expression of th...
متن کاملMalignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Lung in the Young Adult: A Case Report
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is one of the most aggressive and lethal malignancies in pediatric oncology. Malignant rhabdoid tumor was initially described in 1978 as a rhabdomyosarcomatoid variant of a Wilms tumor because of its occurrence in the kidney and because of the resemblance of its cells to rhabdomyoblasts. The absence of muscular differentiation led Haas and colleagues to coin the t...
