  • Title: A retroperitoneal extra-renal wilms' tumour: A case report.
    Author: Wabada S, Abubakar AS, Adamu AI, Kabir A, Gana LB.
    Journal: Niger J Clin Pract; 2017 Mar; 20(3):388-391. PubMed ID: 28256497.
    Abstract:
    Wilms' tumour originates predominantly in the renal tissue; in rare cases it can also arise from extra-renal sites accounting for 0.5-1% of cases of Wilms' tumours seen. A diagnosis of extra-renal Wilms' cannot be easily established with clinical and radiological features except when the histological facts are provided. Wilms' tumours arising from extra-renal sites may not be different in clinical features, protocol of treatment and outcome from a typical intra renal Wilms' tumour. A 2-year-old boy presented with an asymptomatic abdominal swelling for 3 months. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scans revealed an extra-renal mass. Intravenous urogram (IVU) showed prompt excretion bilaterally. Post excision histology of the tumour confirmed a Wilms' tumour.
