The use of MRT in craniofacial pathology has been evaluated above all as regards the possibility offered by this technique for studying the soft parts with better results than already sophisticated investigations like the CT scan. The technique's limitations are the long duration of the investigation, the impossibility of carrying it out in carriers of pacemakers, the inadequate visualisation of the bone and calcifications, the fairly high cost; the advantages are the fact that ionising radiation is not employed, the ureter sensitivity for the soft parts, the good vessel evaluation and the possibility of obtaining oriented sections in every space plane without moving the patient. The use of MRT is therefore rich in prospects.

Wilms' tumor is the most common primary renal malignancy in children (80%) and the less common tumors include renal cell carcinoma, rhabdoid tumor, clear cell sarcoma, cellular congenital mesoblastic nephroma and medullary carcinoma, all of which originate from renal parenchyma. The tumors originating from renal pelvis are rare. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed INI1 deletion with the WT1 positive which has not been reported as we know. A 3-year-old boy was admitted to hospital for vomiting. An ultrasonography examination revealed a mass in the right kidney, medium echo, as well as hydronephrosis with collecting system separation of 3.5 cm. The computed tomography and the magnetic resonance (MR) radical showed that the tumor occupied the right renal pelvis and extended into the ureter. A radical nephroureterectomy was accomplished through a transabdominal approach. The pathologic diagnosis was malignant renal tumor with INI1 deficiency which was atypical in morphology and immunophenotype, but according to immunophenotype renal rhabdomyoid tumor could not be excluded. The patient was treated with carboplatin, etoposide and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy for 6 months. Follow-up studies of the patient showed no indication of recurrence or metastasis 22 months after nephrectomy. The novel findings may expand the spectrum of pediatric renal tumors to include the special malignancy.
