Translocation (8;13)(q24.2;q33) in a Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor of the Liver

A case of malignant rhabdoid tumor of the liver associated with hypercalcemia of malignancy was studied. The karyotype of the liver primary was 46,XY, t(8;13)(q24.2;q33)[7]/46,XY[13], and of the brain metastasis 46,XY,t(8;13)(q24;q33)[5]/46,XY,t(7;13)(p14;q22)[3]/46,XY,t(1;2;3)(q25;q21;p21)[2]/46,XY[13], respectively. Band 8q24 was previously reported to be rearranged in two malignant rhabdoid tumors, one renal and one hepatic.
