Abstract

This report describes a chromosomal abnormality in an 8-year-old boy with renal adenocarcinoma. All tumor cells had the karyotype 46,XY, t(X;17)(p11.2;q25). This karyotype is compared with the cytogenetic descriptions of renal cell adenocarcinoma in two other pediatric patients and in adults.
