Rhabdomyosarcoma, embryonal, 2(RMSE2)

MedGen UID:
357232
Concept ID:
C1867234
Neoplastic Process
Synonym: RMSE2
 
Gene (location): DICER1 (14q32.13)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0859046
OMIM®: 180295

Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: DICER1 Tumor Predisposition
DICER1 tumor predisposition (DICER1) is characterized by an increased risk for pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), pulmonary cysts, thyroid gland neoplasia (multinodular goiter, adenomas, and/or thyroid cancer), ovarian tumors (Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, gynandroblastoma, and sarcoma), and cystic nephroma. Less commonly observed tumors include ciliary body medulloepithelioma, nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, pituitary blastoma, pineoblastoma, central nervous system (CNS) sarcoma, other CNS tumors, and presacral malignant teratoid tumor. The majority of tumors occur in individuals younger than age 40 years. PPB typically presents in infants and children younger than age six years. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are most often diagnosed before age 40 years. Cystic nephroma generally presents in young children but has also been reported in adolescents. Additional clinical features that may be seen include macrocephaly, ocular abnormalities, structural anomalies of the kidney and collecting system, and dental anomalies (bulbous crowns). [from GeneReviews]

Clinical features

From HPO
Nephroblastoma
MedGen UID:
10221
Concept ID:
C0027708
Neoplastic Process
The presence of a nephroblastoma, which is a neoplasm of the kidney that primarily affects children.
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma
MedGen UID:
104910
Concept ID:
C0206656
Neoplastic Process
A poorly circumscribed morphologic variant of rhabdomyosarcoma. It is characterized by the presence of primitive skeletal muscle differentiation in any stage of myogenesis.
Pleuropulmonary blastoma
MedGen UID:
266105
Concept ID:
C1266144
Neoplastic Process
DICER1 tumor predisposition (DICER1) is characterized by an increased risk for pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), pulmonary cysts, thyroid gland neoplasia (multinodular goiter, adenomas, and/or thyroid cancer), ovarian tumors (Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor, gynandroblastoma, and sarcoma), and cystic nephroma. Less commonly observed tumors include ciliary body medulloepithelioma, nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, pituitary blastoma, pineoblastoma, central nervous system (CNS) sarcoma, other CNS tumors, and presacral malignant teratoid tumor. The majority of tumors occur in individuals younger than age 40 years. PPB typically presents in infants and children younger than age six years. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are most often diagnosed before age 40 years. Cystic nephroma generally presents in young children but has also been reported in adolescents. Additional clinical features that may be seen include macrocephaly, ocular abnormalities, structural anomalies of the kidney and collecting system, and dental anomalies (bulbous crowns).
Ovarian thecoma
MedGen UID:
364155
Concept ID:
C1882229
Neoplastic Process
A sex cord-stromal tumor of the ovary. Thecomas range from small tumors to large solid or solid-cystic masses of up to 15 cm. They are unilateral in over 90 percent of cases and are rarely malignant. Thecomas are stromal tumors made up of cells that resemble theca cells, lutein cells and fibroblasts. They are traditionally classified within the sex cord-stromal tumor category of ovarian tumor types.
Goiter
MedGen UID:
42270
Concept ID:
C0018021
Disease or Syndrome
An enlargement of the thyroid gland.
Thyroid nodule
MedGen UID:
21547
Concept ID:
C0040137
Neoplastic Process
A nodular lesion that develops in the thyroid gland. The term "thyroid nodule" refers to any abnormal growth that forms a lump in the thyroid gland.
Multinodular goiter
MedGen UID:
87431
Concept ID:
C0342208
Disease or Syndrome
Enlargement of the thyroid gland related to multiple nodules in the thyroid gland.
