Pediatrics: Genitourinary, Solid Organ Flashcards
Solid renal mass in a 0-3 y/o…
- Nephroblastomatosis
- Mesoblastic nephroma
Solid renal mass in a 4 y/o…
- Wilms (very rare after age 10)
- Wilms variants
- Lymphoma
- Multilocular cystic nephroma (if cystic, not solid)
Solid renal mass in a teenager…
- Renal cell carcinoma
- Lymphoma
Solid renal mass identified on day 1 of life…
Think mesoblastic nephroma
Note: AKA
“solid tumor of infancy”.
Management of nephroblastomatosis
Screening ultrasounds every 3 months until age 7-8 (due to risk of developing Wilms tumors)
Nephroblastomatosis
Persistent nephrogenic rests beyond 36 weeks gestation that present as solid renal masses
Bilateral Wilms tumors…
Nephroblastomatosis (persistence of fetal nephrogenic rests)
Can you be born with a Wilms tumor?
No, if born with a renal tumor think mesoblastic nephroma
What is the classic site of metastases for Wilms tumor?
Lungs
What is the classic site of metastases for a clear cell Wilms tumor?
Bone
What is the classic site of metastases for a rhabdoid Wilms tumor?
Brain
Next step: can’t differentiate between a multi-cystic nephroma and a cystic Wilms tumor
Surgical resection
Note: Never biopsy a possible Wilms tumor (you can seed tumor).
Adolescent renal cell carcinoma is associated with…
- Prior chemotherapy (translocation subtype)
- Sickle cell trait (medullary subtype)
- Von Hippel-Lindau (clear cell subtype)
3 y/o with ultrasound demonstrating nephroblastomatosis and some necrotic regions…
Think Wilms tumor
Note: Uncomplicated nephroblastomatosis should not have any necrosis.
Imaging appearance of nephroblastomatosis
Focal homogenous renal mass
OR
Hypodense rind surrounding the kidney
Note: NO necrosis; any necrosis -> think Wilms.
Mesoblastic nephroma
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).
9 month old with a renal tumor that looks like Wilms…
Think mesoblastic nephroma (Wilms tumors are extremely rare before 1 year old)
Prenatal ultrasound demonstrates the left kidney to have numerous tiny cysts with a normal right kidney…
Think multi cystic dysplastic kidney (no actual functioning renal tissue)
