Metastases and Recurrences in Nephroblastoma

Cancer Metastases: Early Dissemination and Late Recurrences

BACKGROUND Metastatic cells from a primary tumor can occur before the primary cancer is detected. Metastatic cells can also remain in the patient for many years after removal of the primary tumor without proliferating. These dormant malignant cells can awaken and cause recurrent disease decades after the primary treatment. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical evidence for early...

Nephroblastoma: Radiological and Pathological Diagnosis of a Case with Liver Metastases

Nephroblastoma is one of the most common causes of abdominal-pelvic mass in children. It still raises a diagnostic problem because of the wide variety of causes of abdominal-pelvic mass but also because of the delays in consultation in sub-Saharan black Africa and consequently the discovery of the mass at a very late and sometimes metastatic stage. Yet nephroblastoma is a very chemo-sensitive m...

Adult nephroblastoma.

A case of adult nephroblastoma in a 51-year-old woman is reported. A percutaneous aspiration biopsy did not lead to the right diagnosis presumably because the histologic structure of the tumour consisted exclusively of more or less differentiated epithelial-like elements, while mesenchymal tumour components were not demonstrated. It is concluded that this type of nephroblastoma, resembling a re...
