Abstract:

Wilms’ tumor (nephroblastoma) is the most common renal tumor in children. Wilms’ tumor in adults is extremely rare and is presumed to have a poorer prognosis than in children. It is difficult to differentiate adult Wilms’ tumor from renal cell carcinoma based on radiological findings alone. The diagnosis in adults is often made following nephrectomy for a presumed renal cell carcinoma. Because of the paucity of literature concerning Wilms’ tumor in adults, there are no standard protocols for the management and therefore managed on the same lines of that of a Wilms’ tumor in a child. Herein, we report the case of adult Wilms’ tumor in a 22-year-old man, which was diagnosed unexpectedly the following nephrectomy for presumed renal cell carcinoma.
