Abstract

Background: Renal cell carcinoma associated with Xp11.2 translocations/TFE3 gene fusion is characterized by the gene fusions between the TFE3, which is located on the chromosome Xp11.2 and a variety of fusion partners. It is a rare renal cancer, which usually has no specific clinical manifestations. The diagnosis mainly depends on imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemical characteristics. In adults, the disease has a high degree of malignancy. Surgery is the preferred and radical cure for this type of kidney neoplasms. Objective: To further improve the understanding of renal cell carcinoma related to Xp11.2 translocation/TFE-3 gene fusion. Methods: A case of Xp11.2 translocation/TFE-3 gene fusion-related renal cell carcinoma was reviewed, and a systematic review of relevant literature was conducted to summarize and analyze the diagnosis and treatment progress of Xp11.2 translocation/TFE-3 gene fusion-related renal cell carcinoma. Results: Xp11.2 translocation/TFE-3 gene fusion-related renal cell carcinoma is a relatively rare renal malignant tumor. At present, its early diagnosis is still difficult, most of which are found to be advanced, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are basically ineffective. Surgery is the main treatment method. Conclusion: For Xp11.2 translocation/TFE-3 gene fusion-related renal cell carcinoma, early diagnosis and early treatment are still the main methods to judge the prognosis, and the long-term prognostic effect still needs long-term follow-up.
