Synonyms nephroblastoma
LM DDx metanephric adenoma, nephrogenic nests, small round cell tumours, Immature teratoma
IHC WT-1 +ve, CD56 +ve
Site kidney - see pediatric kidney tumours
Syndromes WAGR syndrome, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, Denys-Drash syndrome

Prevalence most common pediatric kidney tumour

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]

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.

Images

  • Wilms tumour. (WC/AFIP)

Microscopic

Features - classically three components (blastema, immature stroma, tubules):[8]

  1. 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.
  2. Stroma ("immature stroma"):
    • Spindle cells:
      • Elliptical nuclear membrane.
      • Abundant loose cytoplasm.
  3. 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.

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:

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]

  1. Focal anaplasia.
  2. Diffuse anaplasia.

Criteria (all of the following):[10]

  1. Atypical mitoses.
  2. Nuclear hyperchromasia.
  3. Nuclear size variation (of the tumour cells) > 3x.

IHC

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.
