    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Clinical Case Reports
    • Genetics and Rare Diseases

    Context:

    • Wilms tumor is a common pediatric kidney cancer.
    • Hemihypertrophy is a rare congenital condition causing asymmetric body overgrowth.
    • This case involves a 4-year-old boy presenting with both conditions.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a case of Wilms tumor co-occurring with hemihypertrophy.
    • To review the known associations between Wilms tumor and congenital malformations.
    • To highlight the increased prevalence of hemihypertrophy in Wilms tumor patients.

    Summary:

    • A 4-year-old boy diagnosed with Wilms tumor also exhibited hemihypertrophy.
    • Wilms tumors frequently present with congenital anomalies like urinary tract malformations, aniridia, and hemihypertrophy.
    • Hemihypertrophy occurs in approximately 1:49 Wilms tumor patients, compared to 1:14000 in the general population.

    Impact:

    • Underscores the importance of screening for hemihypertrophy in children with Wilms tumor.
    • Suggests potential shared genetic or developmental pathways.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the evaluation and management of pediatric patients with these co-occurring conditions.
