Primary renal malignancies occur least frequently in the second decade of life. Of the 4,798 cases of renal cell carcinoma and Wilms tumor referred to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology 53 renal cell carcinomas and 56 Wilms tumors occurred in the 10 to 20-year age group. Pathologically, both tumors in this age range are similar to those occurring at a more typical age, and histologic differentiation between renal cell carcinoma and Wilms tumor is seldom a problem. While radiographic evaluation is useful to characterize the neoplasm, evaluate the contralateral kidney and detect the presence of tumor extension, current imaging techniques cannot confidently distinguish these 2 tumors.
原发性肾恶性肿瘤在生命的第二个十年中最为少见。在提交给武装部队病理研究所的4798例肾细胞癌和肾母细胞瘤病例中，10至20岁年龄组中有53例肾细胞癌和56例肾母细胞瘤。从病理学角度看，这个年龄范围内的这两种肿瘤与在更典型年龄出现的肿瘤相似，肾细胞癌和肾母细胞瘤之间的组织学分化很少成为问题。虽然影像学评估有助于确定肿瘤特征、评估对侧肾脏并检测肿瘤是否存在扩展，但目前的成像技术无法确切区分这两种肿瘤。
