    Author: Thankamony P, Sivarajan V, Mony RP, Muraleedharan V.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2016 Jan; 38(1):e6-9. PubMed ID: 26583622.
    Abstract:
    Congenital anomalies may be associated with Wilms tumor either as isolated anomalies or as part of a congenital malformation syndrome. Nephroblastoma occurring in association with polycystic kidneys is very rare. The optimal surgical management of nephroblastoma in the setting of polycystic kidneys is not defined because of the rarity of this presentation. PHACE syndrome includes posterior fossa anomalies, hemangioma, arterial lesions, cardiac abnormalities/coarctation of aorta, and eye abnormalities. We report a 17-month-old baby with bilateral polycystic kidneys and PHACE syndrome who developed nephroblastoma in the right polycystic kidney which was treated successfully with nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy and chemotherapy.
