Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder that encompasses three different subtypes (GS ... more Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare genetic disorder that encompasses three different subtypes (GS type 1 (GS1), GS type 2 (GS2), and GS type 3 (GS3)), in which isolated neurological manifestations without immune system implications are typically seen in GS1, while neurological involvements in GS2 should be attributed to the macrophage and lymphocyte invasion of the central nervous system (CNS), under associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The presence of the clinical, biological, and hematologic features of HLH help explain the neurological defects that GS2 patients unusually present. In our case report, however, we attempt to highlight an uncommon presentation of GS2 involving a hemiparesis, along which we did not have any clinical or biological features of HLH. We also collect and evaluate similar published cases that feature this problem of explaining the neurological manifestations among GS2 patients.

At the onset of the disease, the usual clinical manifestations are gross hematuria, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension. The prognosis remains poor. Patients with rhabdoid tumors (RT) are treated according to institutional preferences that combine surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The authors present the rare case of a child with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) who presented with an abdominal mass accompanied by hematuria and abdominal pain. The radiological and histological results were congruent with the MRTK. The patient received preoperative chemotherapy but unfortunately died of septic shock. This case highlights the importance of being aware of MRTK and its fatal complications, as well as the increased risk of kidney tumors in patients with XP.
