Extrarenal Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) is rare. This study presents two pediatric cases, highlighting successful surgical and multimodal treatment, indicating favorable outcomes with individualized care.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Extrarenal nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor) is an exceptionally rare condition, with only 34 cases documented globally.
  • This study addresses the rarity by presenting two new cases encountered within a single institution over a decade.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients, a 3-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, presented with abdominal masses crossing the midline.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed retroperitoneal tumors separate from the kidneys, with associated unilateral hydronephrosis in both cases.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent primary surgical excision and were staged as Stage III with favorable histology.
  • Postoperative management included chemotherapy and radiotherapy according to United Kingdom Children's Cancer Study Group (UKCCSG) protocols.

Implications:

  • The presented cases demonstrate successful outcomes for extrarenal Wilms' tumor, with patients remaining disease-free for extended periods (7 years and 20 months).
  • An individualized treatment strategy is recommended for managing extrarenal Wilms' tumor due to its rarity and variable presentation.
