esults in intratumoral aneurysms. Onefourth<br />

of MSTs feature juxtaglomerular<br />

cell hyperplasia within entrapped<br />

glomeruli, which may occasionally lead<br />

to hypertension associated with hyperreninism.<br />

One-fifth of MSTs demonstrate<br />

heterologous differentiation in the form of<br />

glia or cartilage. Necrosis is unusual, and<br />

vascular invasion is absent in MST.<br />

Immunoprofile<br />

MSTs are typically immunoreactive for<br />

CD34, but labeling may be patchy.<br />

Desmin, cytokeratins, and S-100 protein<br />

are negative, though heterologous glial<br />

areas label for GFAP and S-100 protein.<br />

Prognosis and predictive factors<br />

All identified MSTs have had a benign<br />

course, with no reports of metastases or<br />

even local recurrence as of this writing.<br />

Excision is adequate therapy. Rare<br />

patients have suffered morbidity or mortality<br />

from the manifestations of extra<br />

renal angiodysplasia, apparently<br />

induced by MST.<br />
