“…Conversely, it is very rare in adults, with an incidence rate of less than 0.2 per million per year 2. The imaging characteristics in our patient are congruent with those described in the literature for adult Wilms’ tumour 3. Histology is required for definitive diagnosis.…”

“…). They also reported that Wilms’ tumors have a cystic component and hemorrhage in their images; this was not evident, perhaps because of the small size of the tumor. Diagnosis was difficult to define because the tumor did not have specific characteristics due to its small size.…”

Introduction Renal nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms’ tumor, is the most common malignant renal tumor to affect children. Although rare in adults, nephroblastoma in adults is often found in its advanced stages and has a poorer prognosis than cases occurring in childhood. No report has described the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in small diameter renal tumors in elderly patients. Case presentation Here, we report a very rare case of 71‐year‐old woman with asymptomatic small nephroblastoma removed by laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. Conclusion The patient refused additional treatments but shows no sign of recurrence 15 months after surgery. These findings support, therefore, that laparoscopic surgery may be effective for small nephroblastoma in elderly patients refusing other treatment modalities.

“…Although about 95% of Wilms tumor may be predicted with imaging (ultrasound, computed tomography -CT, and magnetic resonance imaging -MRI), however in adults, CT or MRI may aid in diagnosis. 1,7 Immunohistochemistry may prove useful in the diagnosis of Wilms tumor, with positivity for cytokeratin, NSE, and vimentin. 6 There is no standard therapy for treating patients with adult Wilms tumor.…”

Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma) is rare in adults. We present a case of 28-year old female with Wilms tumor diagnosed with pre-operative abdominal magnetic resonance imaging, histopathological analysis and immunohistochemistry. She had relapse tumor two years after primary open radical nephrectomy. She was managed with chemotherapy with the ICE regimen (ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide) for six cycles with partial response and excellent functional status. Keywords: ABSTRAKTumor Wilms (nefroblastoma) adalah kasus yang jarang ditemukan pada orang dewasa. Kami melaporkan satu kasus, pasien perempuan, 28 tahun dengan tumor Wilms yang didiagnosis dengan pemeriksaan magnetic resonance imaging pre-operasi, histopatologi, dan imunohistokimia. Pasien tersebut mengalami relaps dua tahun pasca-radikal nefrektomi. Pasien kemudian menjalani kemoterapi dengan regimen ICE (ifosfamid, karboplatin, dan etoposid) selama enam siklus dengan repons parsial dan status fungsional baik.

CT and MRI imaging features and long-term follow-up of adult Wilms’ tumor

Abstract: Adult WT tends to be a large tumor, isointense or hypointense on T2W imaging with enhancement less than normal renal parenchyma in all phases. The long-term follow-up results demonstrated the poor prognosis of the tumor.
