Pediatric Renal Tumors by Age 0-2 years
GU Neoplasms Case
GU Neoplasms Rhabdoid Tumor
Rhabdoid Tumor 2% of childhood renal neoplasms Arises from renal medulla Mean age 16 months (usually < 3yrs) Synchronous CNS lesions (10%) ➢ Metastases ➢ Primary neuro-ectodermal tumor, typically posterior fossa
Coronal Neonatal Head US image showing multiple echogenic foci in the basal ganglia
Axial T1 Post Contrast MR image of the abomen @ level of the kidneys: Large right renal mass (yellow arrows) and several smaller masses in the left kidney (white arrows
Coronal T2 fat sat MR image of the chest/abd: Large mass infiltrates the right kidney (yellow arrows) . Note normal size of left kidney (white arrow)
Coronal post contrast T1 image of the brain showing multiple enhancing lesions (yellow arrows)
More posterior Coronal T2 fat sat MR image of the chest in the soft tissues of the back shows multiple T2 bright nodules in the skin (yellow arrows)
More posterior Coronal T2 fat sat MR image of the chest in the soft tissues of the back shows multiple T2 bright nodules in the skin (yellow arrows)
Rhabdoid Tumor: Pathology ➢ Large mass (<300 gm) ➢ Infiltrating Histology ➢ Mononuclear cells ➢ Eccentric nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm Photograph of a gross specimen shows a round, lobulated mass with a nonspecific appearance. A small amount of normal kidney (K) is noted at the edge of the specimen. (Reprinted, with permission, from reference 7.)
Rhabdoid Tumor Heterogeneous mass Subcapsular collection Can have synchronous brain mets
Mesoblastic Nephroma Most common renal neoplasm in pts <3mos Rarely occurs in >6mos Benign tumor US: heterog echogen CT: usu heterog low atten mass

GU Neoplasms Case
GU Neoplasms Nephroblastomatosis
Nephroblastomatosis GU Neoplasms "the presence of nephrogenic rests or nephrogenic blastema beyond 36 weeks gestation” Precursor to Wilms tumor
Nephroblastomatosis GU Neoplasms Two basic appearances: ➢ Confluent peripheral mass ➢ Focal cortical mass or masses
Nephroblastomatosis GU Neoplasms 2 types by location • Perilobar ➢ Peripheral cortex or columns of Bertin • Intralobar ➢ Deep cortex ➢ Greater risk of Wilms tumor

Case
Lymphoma
Lymphoma Usu 2/2 direct spread from RP LN Primary Lymphoma rare Renal involvement more common on NHL (esp Burkitt’s)
Lymphoma Variable imaging findings Solitary or solid renal masses Most common pattern is multiple rounded masses

Contrast-enhanced CT axial image shows a heterogeneously enhancing mass in the right kidney, which was later confirmed to be RCC (white arrow). A simple cyst (black arrow) is present in the left kidney

Wilms: Staging Stage I Kidney Limited to the kidney and completely resectable Renal capsule intact Renal sinus may be infiltrated but not beyond hilum Kidney Mass Fig. 2 Axial T2-W fat-suppressed MR shows a large tumour with left renal origin. The mass was too large to be adequately imaged with US alone
Wilms: Staging Stage II Kidney Tumor infiltrates beyond kidney Completely resected Includes tumor with local spillage confined to flank Kidney Mass Fig. 2 Axial T2-W fat-suppressed MR shows a large tumour with left renal origin. The mass was too large to be adequately imaged with US alone
Wilms: Staging Stage III Kidney LN LN Residual tumor confined to abdomen, non-hematogenous; includes : (a) positive abdominal nodes (b) diffuse peritoneal contamination by direct growth, implants, or spillage (c) positive margins (d) residual nonresected tumor Kidney mass aorta LN Fig. 2 Axial T2-W fat-suppressed MR shows a large tumour with left renal origin.
