NEPHROGENIC RESTS
NEPHROBLASTOMATOSIS
MULTICYSTIC DYSPLASTIC KIDNEYS
PATOLOGY
Favorable histology (90%) “classic WT” consisting of three elements: blastemal, stromal, and epithelial tubules
Unfavorable histology, consist focal or diffuse anaplasia
STAGING
Radiographic imaging is performed to determine the anatomic location and extent of the mass
CT/MRI scan of the abdomen will confirm a renal origin to the mass and whether there are bilateral tumors.
thin lip of renal parenchyma often can be seen extending over the neoplasm in a WT, known as the claw sign
there are no characteristic radiographic findings allow a completely accurate diagnosis.
common sites of metastatic spread are the lungs and the liver;
CT scans of the chest should be included in the staging studies.
TREATMENT
All lesions are composed of purely cystic masses characterized by multiple thin-walled septations
Ossifying renal tumor of infancy is a relatively rare tumor occurring entirely in infancy.
gross hematuria, and a palpable mass
lesions are attached to a renal papilla
confused occasionally with staghorn calculi.
Histologically contain osteoid, osteoblastic cells, and spindle cells.
ANGIOMYOLIPOMAS
Angiomyolipomas (AMLs) are benign tumors that contain vascular, smooth muscle, and adipose tissues
less than 1% of renal tumors.
most AMLs are asymptomatic, but can lead to symptoms and renal failure with a higher rate in adulthood
Presenting symptoms include an abdominal mass, urinary infections, hematuria, hypertension, and secondary
infections
surgery is the
treatment of choice and includes nephron-sparing surgery
Prognosis is excelent
RENAL MEDULLARY CARCINOMA
Renal medullary carcinoma (RMC) is a rare and aggressive type of renal cancer that primarily affects young adults
(11–40 years of age)
median survival was 8 months
