Peditaric Renal Tumors -- Broadly classified into 2 categories (WHO) --- ( A ) Nephroblastic and cystic tumours (B ) Mesenchymal tumours
(A) Nephroblastic and cystic tumours occurring mainly in children 1) Nephrogenic Rest 2) Nephroblastoma / Wilm’s Tumour 3) Cystic partially differentiated nephroblastoma 4) Paediatric cystic nephroma
1) Nephrogenic Rest Defn – P ersistent foci of embryonal cells (> 36 wk POG) Epidemiology— 40% cases of Wilms Tumor Histopathology- P erilobar and I ntralobar type- Each type subclassified into- Dormant/incipient R egressing / sclerosing H yperplastic
-
P erilobar N ephrogenic R est- .
Intralobar Nephrogenic Rests .
2) Nephroblastoma / Wilm’s Tumour Defn - Malignant embryonal neoplasm derived from nephrogenic bla stemal cells ,m imics developing kidney &shows divergent patterns of differentiation Epidemiology- 1 in 8000 90% cases <6yrs age Signs and symptoms- A bdominal mass Pain , haematuria, proteinuria Hypertension S econdary to traumatic rupture
Conditions associated with highest risk of Wilms tumor - WAGR syndrome Beckwith– Wiedemann syndrome H emihypertrophy Denys–Drash syndrome Familial nephroblastoma Other conditions - C utaneous nevi and angiomas T risomy 18 Klippel – Trénaunay syndrome Neurofibromatosis Bloom syndrome Frasier syndrome Perlman syndrome C erebral gigantism ( Sotos syndrome). -
- Macroscopy - Gross- Solitary , well circumscribed, soft cut section - P ale gray ,cystic change, necrosis , hemorrhage .
- 1 Variegated appearance. 2 More homogeneous and nodular . 3 Extensive areas of infarct-like necrosis.
Histopathology- Triphasic pattern - 1) Undifferentiated blastema 2) M esenchymal (stromal) tissue 3) Epithelial tissue . Blastemal - H ighly cellular, overlapping nuclei . Diffuse, nodular ,serpentine, basaloid growth Mesenchymal - Spindle cells with smooth muscle features Epithelial- Small round tubular structures resembling rosettes
- 1 combination of blastema , stroma,epithelial tubular formations,immature glomeruli 2 blastema , stroma , and immature tubular formations.
- Metastasis- S keletal metastases, particularly skull R egional lymph nodes, brain, lung, liver * Prognosis- T reatment with doxorubicin Stage A ge at diagnosis T umor necrosis -- all are independent prognostic factors
2) Rhabdoid Tumor Highly Aggressive P art of SMACRB1-associated neoplasms Epidemiology- 2 % of renal neoplasms in children Clinical features- Haematuria , abdominal mass CNS counterpart : A typical Teratoid / Rhabdoid tumour (posterior fossa) (15%)
- Rhabdoid Tumor of Kidney. The nuclear grade is high. An eosinophilic amorphous (“hyaline”) material fills the scanty cytoplasm and pushes the nucleus aside
- Diffuse growth of neoplastic cells Sheet like Diffuse pattern Of monomorphic Neoplastic cells Overrunning a Native glomeruli
- Syncytial sheets of highly atypical cells , with admixed inflammation.
- Molecular Genetics- hSNF5/INI-1 (chr22q11.2) deletion/mutation SMARCB1 retaining – SMARCA4 /BRG1 Markers- V imentin or cytokeratin Loss of SMARCB1 (hSNF5) Prognosis- * High tumor stage and male sex -unfavorable
3)Congenital mesoblastic nephroma *Low-grade fibroblastic neoplasm * M ost common renal tumor of newborns(2-4%) Clinical features * 90 % <1 yr age Abdominal mass
- Macroscopy - S olid Y ellow-gray W ell-circumscribed and its fibrous cut surface well illustrated
- Classic CMN- monotonous proliferation of spindle cells with bland nuclei, resembling “Infantile F ibromatosis ”
- Genetic profile Polysomy of chromosomes 8, 11, 17,20 * Cellular CMN – t(12;15) (p13;q25) results in ETV6–NTRK3 gene fusion Treatment & Prognosis- *Nephrectomy *7 % recurrence with local invasion * A ge at diagnosis & adequacy of excision - more important than morphology
4)Ossifying renal tumour of infancy I ntracalyceal mass composed o f - 1) Osteoid trabeculae 2) Osteoblast-like cells 3) Spindle cell component * Arise from and attached to M edullary P yramid . Clinical features- M ale predominance, Age < 2 years G ross haematuria **
- Macroscopy - W ell circumscribed , 1 -6 cm diameter Histopathology O steoid core O steoblastic cells within and periphery B land spindle cells Genetic profile Relation with other paediatric renal neoplasms uncertain A small number of cases shown trisomy 4
