Microphthalmia Transcription Factor (MiT) family aberration-associated renal cell carcinoma is a rare disease, whose true prevalence is unknown, due to the need of molecular confirmation, commonly by Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH), for its diagnosis. In fact, this tumor is commonly misdiagnosed, often labeled as clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and chromophobe RCC. It is typically observed in young patients, and it can have indolent or aggressive behavior. In the case of aggressive behavior, the disease is rapidly progressive, showing little-to-no response to the drugs commonly used to treat the usual types of RCC. In this review, we focus on the biolog-ical and pathological features of this neoplasm, their impact on its clinical manifestations and we analyze the few experiences of treatment reported in the literature.

Abstract
Microphthalmia Transcription Factor (MiT) family aberration-associated renal cell carcinoma is a rare disease, whose true prevalence is unknown, due to the need of molecular confirmation, commonly by Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH), for its diagnosis. In fact, this tumor is commonly misdiagnosed, often labeled as clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and chromophobe RCC. It is typically observed in young patients, and it can have indolent or aggressive behavior. In the case of aggressive behavior, the disease is rapidly progressive, showing little-to-no response to the drugs commonly used to treat the usual types of RCC. In this review, we focus on the biolog-ical and pathological features of this neoplasm, their impact on its clinical manifestations and we analyze the few experiences of treatment reported in the literature.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
