We describe a case of congenital nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor) presenting at 28 weeks of gestation with fetal hydrops and polyhydramnios. Prenatal diagnosis was made by biopsy. An emergency Cesarean section was performed due to deterioration in the cardiotocograph. A post-mortem examination
A 3-year-old male with a right-sided Wilms' tumor presented with tender hepatomegaly and bilateral lower-limb edema. Ultrasound and echocardiography showed a massive tumor thrombus completely occluding the inferior vena cava, right atrial cavity, and extending retrogradely into the middle hepatic
Wilms tumor is a rare renal tumor in adults. In our knowledge a small number of cases of brain metastasis were reported in literature. The authors report a case of 29-year-old female with headache and dizziness, which a parietal mass with pathological diagnosis of Wilms tumor This case report describes a 15 months-old patient with Wilms' tumor, who was treated with radical operation and chemotherapy. During hospitalization the patient suffered from recurrent lung infections, which were treated with appropriate antibiotics. Subsequently, the patient developed severe
Wilms' tumour (WT) is seldom seen in a neonate and prenatal diagnosis is rare. We present a case of antenatally diagnosed left sided WT with features of hydrops foetalis in a girl baby. Emergency LSCS was done at 34 weeks of gestation for foetal distress. Patient required mechanical ventilation for
BACKGROUND
Ocular manifestations of Wilms' tumor are rare, particularly in adults. We present the first reported case of a choroidal metastasis resulting from Wilms' tumor.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
A 37-year-old white male with an adult-onset biopsy-proven Wilms' tumor with multiorgan metastatic
The Wilms tumor protein WT1 is an essential factor for kidney development. In humans, mutations in WT1 lead to Wilms tumor, a pediatric kidney cancer as well as to developmental anomalies concerning the urogenital tract. Inactivation of Wt1 in mice causes multiple organ defects most notably agenesis
Capillary leak syndrome (CLS) is a rare but fatal disease, which has been reported following the infusions of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, certain monoclonal antibodies, and gemcitabine, suggesting that drugs can also cause CLS. In this study, seven
BACKGROUND
Congenital nephrotic syndrome (CNS) is primarily a monogenetic disease, with the majority of cases due to changes in five different genes: the nephrin (NPHS1), podocin (NPHS2), Wilms tumor 1 (WT1), laminin ß2 (LAMB2), and phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCE1, NPHS3) gene. Usually CNS is not
Congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) is a rare, generally benign renal tumor. A better knowledge of its natural history has changed the therapeutic approach. Currently, aggressive therapy must be exclusively reserved for the sarcomatous forms or Wilms' tumor with sarcomatoid features. The cell
OBJECTIVE
We assessed the incidence of perinatal morbidity and evaluated the outcome in children with prenatally diagnosed renal tumors in a retrospective multicenter study.
METHODS
A review of the records of patients from 20 institutions identified 28 children with prenatally diagnosed renal
In 1973, Perlman et al described a familial syndrome of bilateral renal hamartomas with or without nephroblastomatosis, macrosomia, islet cell hypertrophy, unusual facies, and early lethality. Two additional sibs were recently reported by Neri et al [1984]. We report on two sibs with polyhydramnios,
Sirolimus (SRL), a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, is widely used in transplantation, but the mechanisms whereby it induces adverse effects, such as proteinuria and edema, remain unclear. To determine whether isolated SRL induces proteinuria or not, the authors intraperitoneally injected
Serial changes in glomerular capillary loop gene expression were used to uncover mechanisms contributing to primary glomerular disease in rat models of passive Heymann nephritis and puromycin nephrosis. Before the onset of proteinuria, podocyte protein-tyrosine phosphatase (GLEPP1) expression was
Denys-Drash syndrome is a rare disorder consisting of pseudohermaphrodism, Wilms' tumor and nephropathy. We describe here a boy with severe hypospadias and undescended testes, who presented with end-stage renal failure at the age of 1 year and 8 months when he was referred to our hospital. Emergency
