Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Adult nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor) is an exceptionally rare renal malignancy, with limited documented cases.
  • Understanding its clinical presentation, histopathology, and treatment response in adults is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • Two adult cases of nephroblastoma are presented: a 77-year-old male with a large, aggressive blastemal-predominant tumor and a 47-year-old female with an indolent, epithelial-predominant tumor.
  • The male patient experienced rapid progression and mortality despite chemotherapy, while the female patient had a favorable outcome after nephrectomy alone.

Findings:

  • Histological subtype (blastemal vs. epithelial) and tumor stage appear to correlate with prognosis in adult nephroblastoma.
  • Aggressive features like extracapsular extension and vascular invasion in adult Wilms' tumor portend a poor prognosis.

Implications:

  • These cases underscore the heterogeneity of adult nephroblastoma and the need for individualized treatment strategies.
  • Further research into the molecular mechanisms and optimal therapeutic approaches for adult Wilms' tumor is warranted.
