Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Nephroblastoma is rare in adults. It accounts only 0.5% of all renal tumors and it is often diagnosed in advanced stages. Histology, grading and staging are similar to pediatric nephroblastoma (PN) but its prognosis in the same clinical stage is more pejorative. However some reports use the current pediatric protocols to treat adult nephroblastoma (AN) taking into consideration tumor stage and grade. Others recommend using advanced disease regimens for all stages and grades and no standardized treatment is defined yet.
Case Report: A 29- year-old female who was diagnosed with stage IV nephroblastoma. She underwent radical nephrectomy and received multi-agent chemotherapy according to the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SlOP) protocol No. 9301, a very important reduction of metastasis size occurred after three cycles. Conclusion: Adult nephroblastoma is rare, its prognosis is poorer than that of children when the disease is compared stage for stage, but the outcome for adult patients having this tumor is steadily improving if it is early detected. | |
