TUMORS
2. Kidney tumors in infants and children (WHO):
Nephroblastic tumors:
• Nephroblastoma
• Nephrogenic rests and nephroblastomatosis
• Cystic nephroma and cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma
• Metanephric tumors
• Metanephric adenoma
• Metanephric adenofibroma
• Metanephric stromal tumor
•Mesoblastic nephroma:
•Clear cell sarcoma
•Rhabdoid tumor of kidney
•Renal epithelial tumors of childhood:
• Papillary renal cell carcinoma
• Renal medullary carcinoma
• Translocation associated RCC (Xp11.2 / t(6;11) translocations)
•Rare tumors:
• Ossifying renal tumor of infancy
• Angiomyolipoma
3. Wilms’ tumor (nephroblastoma)
• Comprises > 80% of renal tumors of childhood.
• More common in children of 2 – 4 years.
• Slight predominance in females.
• Tumors are bilateral in 4.4 % of cases.
• Deletion or suppression of WTI Or WTII locus on
chromosome 11 leads to various syndromes
4. Increased association with four syndromes:-
1. WAGR syndrome : aniridia, genital anomalies, mental retardation;
deletions of 11p13 (WT1 gene)
2. Denys-Drash syndrome- higher risk for Wilm's tumor (∼90%); gonadal
dysgenesis (male pseudohermaphroditism) and early-onset nephropathy;
dominant-negative missense mutation in the zinc-finger region of the WT1
gene and increased risk for gonadoblastomas (WT1- critical for normal renal
and gonadal development)
3. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) -"WT2”gene ,genomic
imprinting ; overexpression of IGF-2 (embryonal growth factor) is critical ;
Organomegaly, macroglossia, hemi-hypertrophy, omphalocele, adrenal
Cytomegaly(due to growth of abnormal cells),renal medullary cysts.
4. β-catenin associated Wilms tumors - belong to WNT (wingless) signaling
pathway; 10% of sporadic cases, gain-of-function mutations.
5. GROSS:-
Tumor is large >5 cm in diameter
1/3 or more are > 10 cm
Weighs >500 gm
CUT SURFACE:-
- Solid, soft, grey or pink, resembling brain tissue.
- foci of haemorrhage & necrosis are present and cysts
are common.
-enclosed by a prominent pseudocapsule composed of
compressed renal & perirenal tissues. This gives
appearance of true encapsulation.
6.
7. G/E– Soft, homogenous, tan to grey in color.
Areas of hemorrhages ,cyst formation & necrosis.
8. Microscopy :
• Wilms tumors are composed of variable
mixtures of blastema, epithelium and stroma.
• Blastema consists of densely packed small
cells arranged in sheets.
• These cells have darkly stained nuclei and
inconspicuous cytoplasm resembling other
small blue cell tumors of childhood.
• Frequent mitotic figures are seen.
9. 1)Stromal-Usually fibrotic or myxoid in nature with Paler type of cells.
2)Blastemal-Bunch of less differentiated.
3)Epithelial-Form of abortive tubules or glomeruli as epithelial rosettes
10. • Epithelial component: consists of small tubules or cysts
lined by primitive columnar or cuboidal cells.
• Their nuclei are elongated and wedge shaped.
• Stromal component:
Loose myxoid fibroblastic spindle cell stroma are most
common.
- fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma.
• Positive stains:
•Blastema: WT1, desmin but not other muscle markers ,
focal vimentin
•Epithelium: WT1, keratin and EMA; tubules are CD57+
•Stroma: weak WT1; other stains consistent with morphologic
appearance (myogenin if rhabdomyoblastomatous, S100 if
neural, etc.)
11.
12.
13. Predominantly cystic Wilms tumors contain blastemal &
other wilms tumor tissues in their septa & have been
designated as :
“CYSTIC PARTIALLY DIFFERENTIATED NEPHROBLASTOMA”.
15. Anaplasia:
• marker of unfavorable histology; associated with poor treatment response;
defined as hyperchromatic, pleomorphic nuclei that are 3× larger than adjacent cells
and have abnormal mitotic figures
•Focal anaplasia: all conditions must be met:
• (a) no anaplasia in tumor within renal vessels or outside kidney;
• (b) random biopsies are free of anaplasia;
• (c) anaplasia confined to sharply localized regions within primary intrarenal
tumor site; and
• (d) each focus of anaplasia must be surrounded on all sides by nonanaplastic
tissue, which does not show severe nuclear unrest
•Diffuse anaplasia: any conditions met:
• (a) anaplasia in tumor in any extrarenal site, including vessels of renal sinus,
extracapsular infiltrates, metastases or intrarenal vessels;
• (b) anaplasia in random biopsy; or
• (c) anaplasia unequivocally present in 1 region of tumor with extreme nuclear
unrest elsewhere
17. Childrens oncology group staging of pediatric renal neoplasms:
•Stage I (43%):Tumor limited to kidney and completely resected
•Renal capsule intact, tumor not ruptured or biopsied prior to removal, no residual
tumor beyond margins of resection, no tumor within renal vein and no nodal
involvement or distant metastases
Stage II (23%):Tumor extends beyond kidney but is completely resected
•Regional extension of tumor (vascular invasion outside of renal parenchyma or within
the renal sinus or capsular penetration but with negative surgical margin), no nodal or
distant metastases
Stage III (23%):Residual tumor or nonhematogenous metastases confined to
abdomen
•Metastases may be to regional lymph nodes, peritoneal tumor contamination and / or
implants
•Gross or microscopic tumor present postoperatively (i.e. positive resection margins),
tumor spill before or during surgery, presurgical biopsy (including FNA) and removal of
tumor in > 1 piece
Stage IV (10%):Hematogenous metastases or spread beyond abdomen
Stage V (5%):Bilateral renal involvement (substage each tumor separately according
to above criteria)
18. Wilms Tumor: Treatment:
• En bloc resection of affected kidney
Excision of nodes and lung nodules
Postop chemotherapy
Preoperative chemotherapy for invasive disease or
bilateral Wilms, then surgery
For all stages 2-year survival of 90%
19. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS:
•Neuroblastoma: no triphasic patterns; has rosettes with no
lumen, > 1 cell layer, no distinct basal lamina; Wilms immature
tubules have a lumen, a single cell layer, distinct basal lamina
and surrounding fibromyxoid stroma.
•Perilobar nephrogenic rest: no fibrous capsule.
•Renal cell carcinoma: may resemble epithelial predominant
Wilms.
•Other small blue cell tumors: if blastema predominates
20. Mesoblastic nephroma
