The ossifying renal tumor of infancy is a rare neoplasm diagnosed in the first 2 years of life, predominantly in boys. The neoplasm is primarily characterized by the presence of a large ossifying component. Its most common mode of presentation is hematuria, and it has a uniformly benign behavior. The karyotypic makeup of the process has not been reported. Thus, a study was undertaken and it allowed demonstration of clonal trisomy 4, which was confirmed by the fluorescent in-situ hybridization-probing of two additional archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-imbedded similar tumors. On the basis of the findings in these three cases, it seems that clonal trisomy 4 may be considered as a characteristic of the tumor, which makes it distinct from any other infantile renal tumor.
