ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the long-term clinical effect of multicenter multidisciplinary treatment (MDT) in children with renal malignant tumors.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of 55 children with renal malignant tumors who were diagnosed and treated with MDT in 3 hospitals in Hunan Province from January 2015 to January 2020, with GD-WT-2010 and CCCG-WT-2016 for treatment regimens. A Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyze the survival of the children.@*RESULTS@#Of the 55 children, 10 had stage I tumor, 14 had stage Ⅱ tumor, 22 had stage Ⅲ tumor, 7 had stage IV tumor, and 2 had stage V tumor. As for pathological type, 47 had FH type and 8 had UFH type. All children underwent complete tumor resection. Of the 55 children, 14 (25%) received preoperative chemotherapy. All children, except 1 child with renal cell carcinoma, received postoperative chemotherapy. Among the 31 children with indication for radiotherapy, 21 (68%) received postoperative radiotherapy. One child died of postoperative metastasis. The incidence rate of FH-type myelosuppression was 94.4%, and the incidence rate of UFH-type myelosuppression was 100%. The median follow-up time was 21 months and the median survival time was 26 months for all children, with an overall survival rate of 98% and an event-free survival rate of 95%.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Multicenter MDT has the advantages of high success rate of operation and good therapeutic effect of chemotherapy in the treatment of children with renal malignant tumors, with myelosuppression as the most common side effects, and radiotherapy is safe and effective with few adverse events. Therefore, MDT has good feasibility, safety, and economy.

A girl, aged 1 year and 9 months, was found to have hypertriglyceridemia in the neonatal period, with unusual facies and signs of dark skin all over the body, disappearance of subcutaneous adipose, acanthosis nigricans of the neck, excessive and thick hair, empty cheeks, muscle hypertrophy of the extremities, hepatomegaly, and neutrophil deficiency. Whole exome sequencing of monogenic disorder revealed a homozygote mutation in the BSCL2 gene, c.974 (exon 7)_c.975 (exon 7) insG. Her parents were heterozygotes for this locus. The girl was diagnosed with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL), but the association between CGL and neutrophil deficiency remained unclear. Triglyceride was maintained at a normal level after the treatment with a low-fat and high-carbohydrate diet, and there were no obvious changes in signs. CGL is a rare autosomal recessive systemic disease manifested as disappearance of systemic subcutaneous adipose, muscle hypertrophy of the extremities, and metabolic disorders in the neonatal period, such as high triglycerides, hyperinsulinemia, and hyperglycemia. About 95% of CGL cases are caused by mutations in the AGPAT2 or BSCL2 gene.
