Mesoblastic nephroma is the most frequent renal tumor in newborns and young infants, and the cellular type is characterized by an ETV6-NTRK fusion, which constitutively activates the tropomyosin-related kinase (TRK) signaling pathway. Larotrectinib is a highly selective TRK inhibitor with activity in adult and pediatric patients who have TRK fusions. We present a rare case of a patient with mesoblastic nephroma metastatic to bone who had a dramatic response to larotrectinib.
中胚层肾瘤是新生儿和婴幼儿最常见的肾肿瘤,细胞型特征为 ETV6-NTRK 融合,该融合可使原肌球蛋白相关激酶 (TRK) 信号通路持续激活。拉罗替尼是一种高度选择性的 TRK 抑制剂,在具有 TRK 融合的成年和儿科患者中具有活性。我们报告了一例罕见的中胚层肾瘤骨转移患者,其对拉罗替尼有显著反应。
