M. Schvimer et al., AN UNUSUAL CYSTIC LESION HISTOLOGICALLY SIMILAR TO AUTOSOMAL-DOMINANTPOLYCYSTIC KIDNEY-DISEASE IN A CHILD WITH ANIRIDIA AND DEL 11P13, The Journal of urology, 152(4), 1994, pp. 1218-1220
The association of Wilms tumor with an interstitial deletion on the sh
ort arm of chromosome 11 is well established. Specifically, the 11p13
band has been implicated in the syndrome of Wilms tumor, aniridia, gen
itourinary abnormalities and mental retardation. Only rarely have othe
r renal lesions been associated with the chromosomal abnormality del 1
1p13. We report a case of a segmental cystic lesion, histologically ak
in to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, in a child with an
iridia and the del (11)(p12p14) karyotype.
