Using imaging to diagnose renal tumors beyond nephroblastoma

利用影像学诊断除肾母细胞瘤以外的肾脏肿瘤

Abstract

Wilm's tumor (WT) accounted for the vast majority of renal tumors in children (92%). However, there are many atypical or rare forms of kidney cancer, and it is certainly useful to have a diagnostic orientation in imaging to differentiate between the different diagnoses, guiding that way the therapeutic management. We report the cases of 3 patients who were initially diagnosed with nephroblastoma on the basis of radiological data (via PACS search), underwent pre-operative chemotherapy and then nephrectomy, and whose anatomopathological evidence came back in favor of benign renal tumors. Nephroblastoma is the most common renal tumor in children, but other benign tumors should not be neglected, radiological signs that may point to this entity should be taken into account, so that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with its enfeebling side effects can be avoided.
