Pulmonary Metastases in Wilms

Pulmonary metastases in Wilms' tumour: treatment and prognosis.

Rhabdomyomatous differentiation in Wilms tumor pulmonary metastases: a case report and literature review.

While sparsely reported in the literature, Wilms tumor may differentiate into more mature mesenchymal tissue types, such as skeletal muscle, following chemotherapy. The frequency of this event is unknown. Chemotherapy and radiation may induce cytodifferentiation of Wilms tumor cells or select for the survival of less mitotically active cells. In follow-up biopsies, the presence of rhabdomyomato...

Actinomycin D in Wilms' Tumour: Treatment of Lung Metastases* By

This paper discusses recent world trends in the treatment of Wilms' tumour, particularly as exemplified by their impact on practice at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. Following the use of actinomycin D in the therapy of lung metastases of Wilms' tumour (see below), it became apparent that this drug was able, at times, to inhibit their growth and, more rarely, to cause their complete r...

Neuroblastoma presenting like a Wilms’ tumor with thrombus in inferior vena cava and pulmonary metastases: a case series

Neuroblastomas and Wilms' tumors are frequent pediatric solid tumors. The first is frequently detected in the adrenal gland and the second develops in the kidneys. The extension through the vena cava and the lung metastases are frequent in Wilms' tumors and are rarely seen in neuroblastoma. We present the cases of three children with abdominal tumors with thrombus in the inferior vena cava and ...
