Benign mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MEST) with cytogenetic alteration.
Benign mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MEST) is a new, rare entity. These tumors are composed of two components: a stromal and an epithelial one. Clinical outcome is usually good, no specific cytogenetic alterations have been described up to now. We describe for the first time a case with translocation t (1; 19).
