Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Extrarenal Wilms tumour (ERWT) is a rare malignancy, distinct from the more common renal origin.
  • ERWT typically presents in pediatric populations, but extratumoral occurrences are exceptionally infrequent.

Observation:

  • A case of ERWT manifesting as an asymptomatic subcutaneous lumbar mass is presented.
  • The tumor's location and asymptomatic nature initially obscured diagnostic possibilities.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of extrarenal Wilms tumour was confirmed exclusively through postoperative histopathological examination.
  • This highlights the challenges in preoperative diagnosis of ERWT in extratumoral locations.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses, even with atypical presentations.
