title: Establishment and characterization of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney.
abstract: Malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK) is a highly aggressive tumor which occurs in childhood and which is histologically characterized by the existence of eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions. We established and characterized a cell line from this tumor with histological, immunohistochemical and cytogenetical analysis. Histologically, the tumor cells demonstrate typical eosinophilic inclusions, while immunohistochemically the cells demonstrate common mesenchymal and epithelial differentiation. Although the conventional karyotyping of this tumor lacked the abnormalities of 22q chromosome, Southern blot analysis and microsatellite analysis verified abnormalities of the BCR gene and of the hSNF5/INI1 gene. Despite the variety of locations, these common genetic abnormalities appear to contribute to distinguish rhabdoid tumor from such other small round cell tumors as primitive neuroectodermal tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma, poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma and desmoplastic small round cell tumor.
