Phylum Lung, Heart, Skin, Other::Rhabdoid tumor

Classification

   
  • primarily described as rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK), further extended to tumors of other primary sites : extrarenal rhabdoid tumor (ERRT, or malignant extrarenal rhabdoid tumor MERT)
  • they present a wide histological, ultrastructural, and immunocytochemical spectrum
  • may represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms and also invite confusion with other renal or extrarenal neoplasms, of which is the Favorable Histology Wilms' tumor (with a fair prognosis)
  • finally composite extrarenal rhabdoid tumors (CERT) with a recognizable parent neoplasm admixed with MERT appear to be of various origin
  • the recent finding that hSNF5/INI1is involved in true rhabdoid tumors is of paramount importance in this context

    Clinics and Pathology

    Embryonic origin uncertain histiogenesis
    Epidemiology RTK occurs in infancy and early childhood, median age is 11 mths; unbalanced sex ratio (1.5M/1F); ERRT have been observed in a broader range of patient ages
    Clinics often located in the kidney, may occur in various anatomic sites, such as the central nervous system or soft tissues
    Prognosis highly aggressive; 80% mortality rate with frequent metastases, predominantly pulmonary; a large study 10 yrs ago found a better outcome for girls (> 50% survival) than for boys (10%)

    Cytogenetics

    Cytogenetics
    Morphological
  • normal karyotype or 22q11.2 involvement in a t(Var; 22)(-;q11.2) or in del(22q).
  • loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 22; LOH can also occur at chromosome band 11p15.5, indicating that a second gene may also be involved in addition in a subset of rhabdoid tumors

    • Genes involved and Proteins

    Gene NameSMARCB1 (SW1/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin B1)
    Location 22q11.23
    Germinal mutation found in the rhabdoid tumor predisposition syndrome.
    Somatic mutation mutation and allele loss events in sporadic rhabdoid tumors are in accordance with the two-hit model for neoplasia, as is found in retinoblastoma
