Bilateral nephroblastoma represents 4–8% of all Wilms′ tumors (WTs). Nephroblastomatosis (NB) is defined by the presence of multiple or diffuse nephrogenic rests (NRs). These lesions are always present in bilateral nephroblastoma, and they are better detected by computed tomography (CT). Treatment consists of a homogeneous therapeutic approach combining chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy. The rarity of bilateral nephroblastoma associated with NB explains the variability of the therapeutic proposals and the lack of codified protocols. We report the case of an 18-month-old boy presenting bilateral nephroblastoma with NB.
Keywords: Bilateral nephroblastoma, Children, Nephroblastomatosis
