Extrarenal nephroblastoma (ERNB) is a rare disease. We report a case of ERNB in a 4-year-old boy complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. Imaging showed a retroperitoneal mass and left hydronephrosis. The mass was completely removed by surgery. The pathologic diagnosis was ERNB with favorable histology. Postoperative chemotherapy was administered for 24 weeks with actinomycin D, vincristine, and doxorubicin. No signs of recurrence were found for the next 3 years. We consider 53 reports of ERNB and our own. Median age at diagnosis was 42 months. The most common site is the retroperitoneal space (44.4%), followed by the uterus (14.8%).

Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is an uncommon renal neoplasm of childhood. It represents between 2% and 9% of all pediatric renal tumors, and generally arises before the age of 5 years. It often mimics other pediatric renal tumors. Presently described is the case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with complaints of vomiting and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a right renal mass, and the patient developed a renal hematoma a few hours after admission. The patient underwent a nephroureterectomy with a provisional diagnosis of Wilms tumor; however, histopathological examination of a specimen revealed CCSK. CCSK is similar to Wilms tumor in terms of the typical age of appearance and clinical and histopathological features, but the treatment method and prognosis are different. Therefore, the differential diagnosis is very important. This case was presented to draw attention to a rare presentation of clear cell sarcoma. CCSK should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of a renal mass.

Relatively little is known about phenotypic variability in nonsyndromic nephropathy associated with the gene encoding the WT1 transcription factor. We report a 12-mo-old female who presented with vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue in the setting of renal failure and malignant hypertension. Trio ultra-rapid whole-genome sequencing identified a novel, likely pathogenic, de novo missense variant (c.485T > A, p.Val162Asp) in WT1 in 46 h, consistent with a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome type 4 (NPHS4; OMIM 256370). This disorder typically presents with nephrotic syndrome (gross proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema). Rapid diagnosis had an immediate impact on her clinical management in the pediatric intensive care unit. Diagnostic renal biopsy was avoided, and placement of permanent dialysis access, a gastrostomy tube, and bilateral nephrectomy were accelerated. This report expands the presenting phenotype of nonsyndromic nephrotic syndrome and/or renal failure due to heterozygous variants in WT1 (NPHS4). It also highlights the relationship between time to genomic diagnosis and clinical utility in critically ill infants.

Wilms' tumor is the most common primary renal malignancy in children (80%) and the less common tumors include renal cell carcinoma, rhabdoid tumor, clear cell sarcoma, cellular congenital mesoblastic nephroma and medullary carcinoma, all of which originate from renal parenchyma. The tumors originating from renal pelvis are rare. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed INI1 deletion with the WT1 positive which has not been reported as we know. A 3-year-old boy was admitted to hospital for vomiting. An ultrasonography examination revealed a mass in the right kidney, medium echo, as well as hydronephrosis with collecting system separation of 3.5 cm. The computed tomography and the magnetic resonance (MR) radical showed that the tumor occupied the right renal pelvis and extended into the ureter. A radical nephroureterectomy was accomplished through a transabdominal approach. The pathologic diagnosis was malignant renal tumor with INI1 deficiency which was atypical in morphology and immunophenotype, but according to immunophenotype renal rhabdomyoid tumor could not be excluded. The patient was treated with carboplatin, etoposide and cyclophosphamide chemotherapy for 6 months. Follow-up studies of the patient showed no indication of recurrence or metastasis 22 months after nephrectomy. The novel findings may expand the spectrum of pediatric renal tumors to include the special malignancy.
