Wilms Tumor With Hepatic and Pulmonary Metastases in a Toddler: A Case Report

Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is the most common malignant renal tumor in children, typically diagnosed before the age of five. Diagnosis relies on a comprehensive clinical and radiological assessment to evaluate both local and distant tumor extension. We report the case of a 20-month-old female with Wilms tumor presenting initially with multiple pulmonary lesions and a solitary hepatic metastasis. Imaging, particularly computed tomography, plays a pivotal role in the accurate detection of these metastases, allowing precise staging and the planning of an appropriate therapeutic strategy. This case also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates clinical, radiological, histopathological, and therapeutic data to optimize patient management.

Abstract

Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is the most common malignant renal tumor in children, typically diagnosed before the age of five. Diagnosis relies on a comprehensive clinical and radiological assessment to evaluate both local and distant tumor extension. We report the case of a 20-month-old female with Wilms tumor presenting initially with multiple pulmonary lesions and a solitary hepatic metastasis. Imaging, particularly computed tomography, plays a pivotal role in the accurate detection of these metastases, allowing precise staging and the planning of an appropriate therapeutic strategy. This case also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach that integrates clinical, radiological, histopathological, and therapeutic data to optimize patient management.
