Abstract:
We report the case of a 14 year-old teenager who has SC hemoglobinosis and presented with a tumor syndrome with a retro-peritoneal mass, a supraclavicular lymph node and a mid-renal lesion. The microscopic examination revealed an undifferentiated tumor proliferation infiltrating the lymph node parenchyma. This tumor proliferation was INI1/SMARCB1-deficient, and expressed cytokeratins. Given the fact that the histopathological data showed an undifferentiated INI1-deficient carcinoma and that the patient has a kidney lesion and a sickle cell trait, the final diagnosis was lymph node metastasis of SMARCB1-deficient renal medullary carcinoma (OMS 2022).
