Correlation between a specific Wilms tumour suppressor gene (WT1) mutation and the histological findings in Wilms tumour (WT).
W ilms tumour (WT) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the kidney in childhood and accounts for approximately 8% of all childhood solid tumours. 2 Fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma (FRN) is a histological variant of WT characterised by a predominance of rhabdomyogenic components. Clinically, WT of the FRN type presents as a huge mass in younger patients and about 30% of them have bilate...
متن کاملDiagnostic utility of Wilms’ tumour-1 protein (WT-1) immunostaining in paediatric renal tumours
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Renal tumours constitute about 7 per cent of all neoplasms in children. It is important to differentiate Wilms' tumour (commonest tumour) from non-Wilms' tumours. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunoexpression and diagnostic role of Wilms' tumour-1 protein (WT1) in paediatric renal tumours. METHODS A total of 53 cases of renal tumours in children (below 18 ...
متن کاملHypoglycaemia with Wilms' Tumour.
Hypoglycaemia occurring in association with certain extrapancreatic tumours, mesodermal in type and mostly malignant, has become a well-established entity of organic hypoglycaemia. Conn and Seltzer (1955), in a review of spontaneous hypoglycaemia, added this group to the well-known causes of organic hypoglycaemia, namely, pancreatic, hepatic, anterior pituitary, adrenocortical and central nervo...
متن کاملAntenatally Diagnosed Wilms’ Tumour
Wilms' tumour (WT) is seldom seen in a neonate and prenatal diagnosis is rare. We present a case of antenatally diagnosed left sided WT with features of hydrops foetalis in a girl baby. Emergency LSCS was done at 34 weeks of gestation for foetal distress. Patient required mechanical ventilation for birth asphyxia and congestive cardiac failure. After stabilization, gross total resection of the ...
متن کاملPaternal occupation and Wilms' tumour in offspring.
A case-control study was conducted to test the hypothesis that paternal occupation is a risk factor for Wilms' tumour in offspring. Occupations associated with exposure to lead (Pb) and to hydrocarbons were examined by computing odds ratios, all of which were greater than unity but not by a statistically significant margin. When painters were considered separately, children whose fathers had be...
