This article cover pediatric kidney tumours. Adult kidney tumour are covered in kidney tumours article. An introduction to pediatric pathology is in the pediatric pathology article.

Overview

These are diagnoses pediatric pathologists make.

The most common ones are:

  1. Wilms tumour.
  2. Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney.

Other renal tumours (not covered in this article):

The renal translocation carcinomas are covered in:

Specific tumours

Wilms tumour

  • AKA nephroblastoma, AKA Wilms' tumour.
Main article: Wilms tumour

Metanephric stromal tumour

  • Abbreviated MST.

General

Gross

Features:[1]

  • Usu. renal medulla.
  • Solid or cystic.

Microscopic

Features:[1]
