Wilms tumour, also nephroblastoma and Wilms' tumour, is the most common pediatric kidney tumour.[1][2]
General
- Common abdominal pediatric tumour.
- Affects approximately 1 in 8000 children.
- There is no sex predilection and the mean patient age at diagnosis ranges among 37 to 43 months.
- May be associated with a syndrome:[3]
- WAGR syndrome (Wilms tumour, Aniridia (absence of iris), GU abnormalities, Retardation).[4]
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.[5]
- Denys-Drash syndrome.[6]
Gross
Features [7]
- Most nephroblastomas are unifocal.
- Usually solitary, rounded, multilobular masses sharply demarcated from adjacent parenchyma.
- The cut surface is most commonly pale grey or tan.
- Cyst most be prominent in some cases.
- Multifocal masses in a single kidney and bilateral primary lesions are less frequent.

Microscopic
Features - classically three components (blastema, immature stroma, tubules):[8]
- Malignant small round blue cells ("blastema"):
- The blastemal component is the least differentiated cellular element.
- Size = ~ 2x RBC diameter.
- Nuclear pleomorphism (variation of size, shape and staining).
- Irregular nuclear membrane - important.
- Scant/difficult to discern cytoplasm - basophilic (light blue).
- Mitoses - common.
- Stroma ("immature stroma"):
- Spindle cells:
- Elliptical nuclear membrane.
- Abundant loose cytoplasm.
- Spindle cells:
- Epithelial components ("tubules"):
- Primitive rossete-like tubules, well-formed maturing and mature tubules, glomerular structures and variably papillary architecture.
- Usually clustered.
- Usu. have a central (clear/white) space surrounded by a rim of intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- Nuclei of tubular structures often elongated and palisaded.
- Primitive rossete-like tubules, well-formed maturing and mature tubules, glomerular structures and variably papillary architecture.
Other findings:
- Commonly seen in association with nephrogenic rests.
- Cluster of cells small (blue) cells; lack nuclear atypia seen in Wilms tumour.[9]
- +/-Heterologous elements (skeletal muscle, smooth muscle adipose tissue, cartilage).[10]
- Heterologous = doesn't normally belong there.[11]
DDx:
- Metanephric adenoma.
- Nephrogenic nests.
- Other small round cell tumours.
- Synovial sarcoma, biphasic - especially in adults.
- Immature teratoma.
Notes:
- Palisade = fence made of stakes driven into the ground.[12]
- Approximately 30-40% Wilms tumour cases have nephrogenic rests.[13]
- The three phases are also called blastemal, epithelial and stromal.[10]

Anaplasia
Subclassified as:[10]
- Focal anaplasia.
- Diffuse anaplasia.
Criteria (all of the following):[10]
- Atypical mitoses.
- Nuclear hyperchromasia.
- Nuclear size variation (of the tumour cells) > 3x.
IHC
- WT-1 +ve (nuclear).
- CD56 +ve.[14]
- -ve in metanephric adenoma.
Molecular
- Cytogenetics[15]
- Partial gains of 1q.
- Partial losses of 1p, 1q, 4q, 11q, 16q, 22q.
- Complete loss of chromosome 16, 11, 12, 22.
- Trisomy of chromosome 8, 12, 13, 18.
