Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Wilms' tumour (WT) is a rare kidney cancer affecting children.
  • Infants under one year old present unique diagnostic and management challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical behavior and management of Wilms' tumour in infants.
  • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties and emphasize early recognition in this age group.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 48 pediatric Wilms' tumour cases over 15 years.
  • Analysis of treatment strategies (surgery vs. preoperative chemotherapy) based on age at diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Seven patients were diagnosed under one year of age.
  • Infants under six months underwent primary surgery, while older infants received preoperative chemotherapy.

  • Successful treatment outcomes were observed, including management of a contralateral relapse.

    • Conclusions:

    • Wilms' tumour management in infants requires tailored approaches due to diagnostic uncertainties.
    • Early consideration of Wilms' tumour is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment in infants.
