Pathol Res Pract. 2005;200(11-12):865-7. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2004.05.004.

Abstract

Benign mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney (MEST) is a new, rare entity. These tumors are composed of two components: a stromal and an epithelial one. Clinical outcome is usually good, no specific cytogenetic alterations have been described up to now. We describe for the first time a case with translocation t (1; 19).
