Summary
A rare case of a pediatric renal mass initially misdiagnosed as xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) was ultimately identified as an intrapelvic Wilms tumor. This Wilms tumor exhibited continuous extension into the distal ureter, a presentation not previously documented in medical literature.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Urologic Pathology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal malignancy.
- Intrapelvic Wilms tumors are rare, and ureteral extension is exceptionally uncommon.
- Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) can mimic renal tumors, posing diagnostic challenges.
