Primary extrarenal Wilms tumors are rare neoplasms that are presumed to arise from metanephric or mesonephric remnants outside of the kidney. Their pathogenesis is debated but has not been studied, and there are no reports of genomic descriptions of extrarenal Wilms tumors. We describe a diffusely anaplastic extrarenal Wilms tumor that occurred in the lower abdomen and upper pelvis of a 10-year-old boy. In addition to the clinical, histopathologic, and radiologic features, we describe the cytogenetic changes and exomic profile of the tumor. The tumor showed loss of the tumor suppressor AMER1, loss of chromosome regions 1p, 16q, and 22q, gain of chromosome 8, and loss of function TP53 mutation-findings known to occur in renal Wilms tumors. This is the first description of the exomic profile of a primary extrarenal Wilms tumor. Our data indicate that primary extrarenal Wilms tumors may follow the same pathogenetic pathways that are seen in renal Wilms tumors. Finally, we describe the establishment of first ever tumor models (primary cell line and patient-derived xenograft) from an extrarenal Wilms tumor.
原发性肾外 Wilms 瘤是罕见的肿瘤,据推测起源于肾脏外的后肾或中肾残余物。其发病机制存在争议,但尚未进行研究,也没有关于肾外 Wilms 瘤基因组描述的报道。我们描述了一例发生在 10 岁男孩下腹部和上骨盆的弥漫性间变性肾外 Wilms 瘤。除了临床、组织病理学和影像学特征外,我们还描述了肿瘤的细胞遗传学改变和外显子组谱。肿瘤显示肿瘤抑制因子 AMER1 缺失、染色体 1p、16q 和 22q 缺失、染色体 8 获得和 TP53 基因突变失活,这些改变已知存在于肾 Wilms 瘤中。这是首例原发性肾外 Wilms 瘤的外显子组谱描述。我们的数据表明,原发性肾外 Wilms 瘤可能遵循与肾 Wilms 瘤相同的发病途径。最后,我们描述了首例肾外 Wilms 瘤肿瘤模型(原代细胞系和患者来源的异种移植物)的建立。
