  • Title: [Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney arising in a newborn infant: description of a case with ultrastructural observations].
    Author: Terlizzo M, Ambu R, Crisponi G, Marras A, Faa G.
    Journal: Pathologica; 1999 Jun; 91(3):198-202. PubMed ID: 10536466.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Rhabdoid tumour of the kidney is a new independent entity. Before it was considered a variant of Wilms tumor of the kidney. Now we have enough parametres to define the rhabdoid tumor: immunohistochemistry positive by the vimentin, special histological features and behaviour. CASE: We report a very aggressive case of rhabdoid tumor found in a two week old infant. RESULTS: We studied aspects of histology and histochemistry. We found a positivity for vimentin and many cells in apoptosis. DISCUSSION: The mild positivity for vimentin and the high number of cells in apoptosis suggest a relationship between apoptosis and behaviour.
