Kidney cancer in a 14-year-old child: a rare clinical case description
https://doi.org/10.21886/2308-6424-2024-12-6-59-66
Abstract
Kidney tumours are among the most common solid malignant pathologies in children, accounting for 6 % of all childhood malignancies. About 89 % of these tumors are nephroblastomas (Wilms' tumors). Renal cell carcinoma in children is extremely rare, representing less than 1 % of all renal tumor pathologies in childhood and adolescence. Given the rarity of this pathology in children and the small size of neoplasms in the renal parenchyma, differential diagnosis between renal cancer and cystic renal lesions can be challenging. This clinical case describes a successful treatment case of a 14-year-old patient with a detected renal parenchymal mass, subsequently diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma.
