title: Renal cell carcinoma with t(X;17): singular pediatric neoplasm with specific phenotype/genotype features.
abstract: Renal cell carcinomas in children are extremely rare and are usually associated with specific chromosomal rearrangements, different from those seen in adult patients. We present the case of a 9-year-old girl with a renal cell carcinoma with t(X;17) diagnosed at our institution. We also review the pertinent literature, with an emphasis on the genetic and molecular aspects associated with this rare neoplasm.
