We present a case of a 14-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma in 2014. She was managed with chemotherapy and remained in remission for 3 years. On her surveillance imaging in 2017, a left-sided renal neoplastic mass was incidentally discovered. She underwent nephrectomy and pathology of the resected specimen revealed small cell tumour of the kidney with features favouring renal Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumour. Molecular genetic analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridisation was performed which showed translocation of 22q12, thereby confirming the diagnosis. This is a rare secondary malignancy and an unusual association. This case highlights the importance and diagnostic dilemmas of rare secondary tumours in patients with such haematological malignancies and discusses its possible pathogenetic aspects.
我们报告一例14岁女孩的病例,该女孩于2014年被诊断为伯基特淋巴瘤。她接受了化疗,缓解期达3年。2017年她进行监测成像时,偶然发现左侧肾脏有一个肿瘤性肿块。她接受了肾切除术,切除标本的病理显示为肾小细胞肿瘤,特征符合肾尤因肉瘤/原始神经外胚层肿瘤。通过荧光原位杂交进行了分子遗传学分析,结果显示22q12易位,从而确诊。这是一种罕见的继发性恶性肿瘤及不寻常的关联。该病例突出了此类血液系统恶性肿瘤患者中罕见继发性肿瘤的重要性和诊断困境,并讨论了其可能的发病机制方面。
