Although rare in adults, Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal tumor. Treatment typically involves radical nephrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation, although outcomes differ between children and adults which may be due to challenges in accurately diagnosing these patients. In this article, we present a case report of an adult patient with Jeune syndrome and multiple urologic abnormalities who underwent radical nephrectomy for a large renal mass and was subsequently diagnosed with an epithelial predominant Wilms tumor. Epithelial predominant Wilms tumor may have distinct origins from other Wilms tumor histological subtypes and may incur better outcomes. Herein, we discuss the literature surrounding this rare entity as well as the anticipated treatment course.
虽然肾母细胞瘤在成人中罕见,但它是最常见的儿童肾肿瘤。治疗通常包括根治性肾切除术,随后进行辅助化疗或放疗,不过儿童和成人的治疗结果有所不同,这可能是由于准确诊断这些患者存在挑战。在本文中,我们报告了一例患有Jeune综合征和多种泌尿系统异常的成年患者,该患者因巨大肾肿块接受了根治性肾切除术,随后被诊断为上皮型为主的肾母细胞瘤。上皮型为主的肾母细胞瘤可能与其他肾母细胞瘤组织学亚型有不同的起源,且可能有更好的治疗结果。在此,我们讨论围绕这一罕见实体的文献以及预期的治疗过程。
