Article Synopsis
- Metanephric stromal tumor is a rare benign kidney tumor in children that can be effectively treated through nephrectomy, but distinguishing it from more aggressive renal tumors can be challenging.
- Cytogenetic studies of a metanephric stromal tumor in a 3-year-old boy revealed complex genetic changes, specifically a gain in the 17q22 to 17q25.3 region, suggesting this alteration may be significant in diagnosis.
- Further research is necessary to confirm these cytogenetic findings as a common abnormality associated with metanephric stromal tumors.
We report a patient presenting with oculoauriculovertebral spectrum and a de novo balanced reciprocal translocation t(9;18)(p23;q12.2). Physical mapping of the translocation breakpoints by fluorescent in situ hybridization showed that the breakpoints are located in two regions encompassing gene deserts.
