Renal Tumors Flashcards
What are two pediatric renal neoplasms?
Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor)
Mesoblastic nephroma
What are two Benign Adult renal neoplasms?
Papillary adenoma (?)
Oncocytoma
Angiomyolipoma
What are two Malignant Adult renal neoplasms?
Renal Cell Carcinomas
Urothelial Carcinomas
What is the most common pediatric renal neoplasm? What is the peak age of occurence
Wilms tumor
1-4 years old
4th leading cause of cancer in children
What is Wilms Tumor (Nephroblastoma) comprised of?
Embryonal nephrogenic elements:
What is the Hallmark appearance of Wilms Tumor?
Triphasic neoplasm: present in varying proportions
1.Blastema: cells with little cytoplasma, grow in nests or cords(trabeculae)
- Epithelium: Primitive tubules and glomeruli
- Stroma: spindle cells [Undifferentiated, Skeletal muscle (most common), Cartilage]
What is the rule of “5s”
- Wilms tumor accounts for 5% of ped cancers
- 5% Bilateral
- 5% Multicentric (if in one kidney)
- 5% Anaplastic = WORSE PROGNOSIS
What is the most common area of metastasis for Wilms tumor?
Lungs
What are 3 syndromes associated with Wilms tumor?
- Beckwith-Wiedeman syndrome
- WAGR syndrome
- Denys-Drash syndrome
- What are 2 Symptoms of Beckwith-Wiedeman syndrome?
- What is the gene mutation?
- What percentage develop Wilms Tumor?
- Organomegaly, Hemihypertrophy
- WT2 gene mutation
- 5% develop Wilms tumor
- What are 4 Symptoms of WAGR syndrome?
- What is the gene mutation?
- What percentage develop Wilms Tumor?
- Wilms-Aniridia-Genital anomaly-Retardation
- WT1
- 33% develop Wilms tumor
- What are 3 Symptoms of Denys-Drash syndrome?
- What is the gene mutation?
- What percentage develop Wilms Tumor?
- Glomerulonephritis, male pseudohermaphroditism, Wilms
- WT1
- 90% develop Wilms tumor
What is the typical clinical presentation of Wilms tumor?
- Abdominal mass/pain - parents notice when changing diaper
- Intestinal obstruction
- Hematuria
What is the treatment for Wilms Tumor? What 3 features cause a bad prognosis
Nephrectomy + Chemotherapy = 80-90% cure rate
bad prognosis = ANAPLASIA, age >2, large size
What is the pathogenesis of Wilms tumor?
Mutation in tumor suppressor genes on CHROMOSOME 11 (11p13-11p15.5)
- -WT1 gene: growth promoting proteins (IGF-2)
- -WT2 gene: interacts with growth promoting fx
What is the most common renal tumor of INFANCY? (0-1yrs old)
Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma
What is a Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma composed of?
SPINDLED CELLS (immature mesodermal tissue): smooth muscle, cartilage
What is the presentation of Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma? what is the chance of metastasis?
Palpable mass often found by prenatal imaging
metastaes are rare: lungs, brain, rarely bone
What is the treatment for Congenital Mesoblastic Nephroma?
Nephrectomy with Wide margins (remove perinephric fat)
Why is Papillary adenoma controversial in its categorization as a benign Adult renal neoplasm?
current view is to regard ALL adenomas as potentially malignant (regardless of size)
What is the most common renal epithelial neoplasm in Adults?
Renal Papillary Adenoma
What is the size categorization for Renal Papillary Adenoma?
<0.5cm = benign <3.0cm = probably wont metastasize
