    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Thoracic Medicine

    Background:

    • Wilms' tumor is a rare kidney cancer primarily affecting children.
    • Pleural effusion, fluid in the lung lining, is an uncommon complication of Wilms' tumor.

    Observation:

    • This report presents three pediatric cases with pleural effusion.
    • The effusions were associated with Wilms' tumor or its therapeutic interventions.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights diverse mechanisms leading to pleural effusion in Wilms' tumor patients.
    • These mechanisms are directly linked to the tumor itself or its treatment modalities.

    Implications:

    • Understanding these associations can improve diagnostic and management strategies for pediatric cancer patients.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of pleural effusion in Wilms' tumor is warranted.
