Abstract
We describe a primary ovarian neoplasm, occurring in a 15-year-old female patient, with morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular genetic features identical to those of the very rare tumors of the kidney previously described as "melanotic Xp11 translocation renal cancer." This represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of a melanotic Xp11 translocation-associated neoplasm arising outside of the kidney. We discuss the relationship of these rare tumors to neoplasms showing perivascular epithelioid cell differentiation, in particular those showing TFE3 rearrangements.
