Q

3 y/o with ultrasound demonstrating nephroblastomatosis and some necrotic regions…

Think Wilms tumor

Note: Uncomplicated nephroblastomatosis should not have any necrosis.

Q

Imaging appearance of nephroblastomatosis

A

Focal homogenous renal mass

OR

Hypodense rind surrounding the kidney

Note: NO necrosis; any necrosis -> think Wilms.

Q

Mesoblastic nephroma

A

A generally-benign fetal hamartoma of the kidney

Note: This is the most common neonatal renal tumor (80% diagnosed in the first month of life).

Q

Multicystic dysplastic kidney is associated with…

A

Abnormalities in the contralateral kidney (50%)

Note: Most commonly this is a UPJ obstruction.

20
Q

How can you differentiate between multi cystic dysplastic kidney and bad hydronephrosis?

A
  • In hydronephrosis, the cystic spaces communicate with the renal pelvis
  • Renal scintigraphy can be used in difficult cases (multi cystic dysplastic kidneys have no excretory function)
21
Q

Wilms tumors are associated with…

A
  • Beckwith-Wiedemann
  • Sotos
  • WAGR
  • Drash
22
Q

Beckwith-Wiedemann

A
  • Macroglossia
  • Wilms
  • Omphalocele
  • Hepatoblastoma
23
Q

Sotos

A
  • Macrocephaly
  • Mental retardation
  • Ugly face
24
Q

WAGR

A
  • Wilms
  • Aniridia
  • Genital anomalies
  • Growth Retardation
25
Drash
- Wilms - Pseudohermaphroditism - Progressive glomerulonephritis
26
Wilms in a 1 y/o...
Look for other associated syndromes/anomalies: - Hemihypertrophy - Hypospadias - Cryptorchidism
27
Wilms tumors are NEVER present prior to what age?
2 months (and extremely rare prior to 1 year)
28
What are the common Wilms variants?
- Clear cell (likes to cause lytic bone mets) - Rhabdoid (likes to cause aggressive rhabdoid brain tumors, horrible prognosis)
29
What percentage of pts with a Wilms tumor will have bilateral Wilms tumors?
5-10%
30
4 y/o with a cystic renal mass that protrudes into the renal pelvis...
Multilocular cystic nephroma
31
Multilocular cystic nephromas are most common in what age groups?
- Young boys (~4 y/o) - Middle aged women (~40s) Note: Some people separate these into two different diseases: pediatric cystic nephromas and adult cystic nephromas.
32
What is the most common renal malignancy of childhood?
Wilms tumor (followed by renal cell carcinoma)
33
What is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma in children?
translocation carcinoma Note: Clear cell carcinoma, which is the most common subtype in adults, is rare in kids.
34
Kids with clear cell renal cell carcinoma should be screened for...
Von Hippel-Lindau
35
Kids with translocation renal cell carcinoma often have a history of prior...
Cytotoxic chemotherapy
36
Classic imaging appearance of translocation renal cell carcinoma
Solid, enhancing renal mass that is denser than renal cortex on non contrast CT and demonstrates expansile growth
37
Multiple, bilateral, round, expansile renal masses in a 4 y/o...
Think lymphoma
38
Lymphoma involving the kidneys in children is most often primary/secondary
Always secondary (hematogenous spread or direct invasion of lymphoma) Note: Primary renal lymphoma is virtually nonexistent.
39
Best initial imaging test for suspected bladder cancer in a kid
Bladder ultrasound (with a full bladder)
40
What is the most common malignant bladder tumor in children?
Rhabdomyosarcoma
41
Kid with bladder obstruction and bladder ultrasound demonstrates a large, nodular bladder mass...
Think rhabdomyosarcoma Note: Specifically, the botryoid subtype has a nodular, bunch-of-grapes appearance.
42
Most common location for pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma
Head/neck (specifically the orbit and nasopharynx)
43
Which rhabdomyosarcoma subtype looks like a bunch-of-grapes?
Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma
44
What is the most common age rage for rhabdomyosarcoma
Bimodal: 2-4 and 15-17
45
What percentage of rhabdomyosarcoma cases have metastatic disease at the time of presentation/diagnosis?
20%
46
What is the most common atraumatic extra-testicular scrotal mass in a young male?
Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma Note: If there was trauma, think hematoma.
