Tumor de Wilms no adulto : case report

Abstract

O tumor de Wilms constitui uma das neoplasias renais malignas mais frequentes em idade pediátrica, correspondendo a 85-90% dos casos. A incidência em adultos é cerca de 0.2 por milhão por ano. Apesar de, em termos histológicos não existirem diferenças entre os grupos etários, a apresentação clinica em idade adulta é distinta. Dado o reduzido número de casos em idade adulta, existe uma escassa evidência sobre a estratégia terapêutica mais adequada, pelo que as opções terapêuticas são semelhantes independentemente da idade. O prognóstico é considerado pior nos adultos. Este trabalho descreve o caso de uma doente de 23 anos diagnosticada com Tumor de Wilms em estadio IV, que realizou nefrectomia citoredutora e quimioterapia neoadjuvante e adjuvante. Observou-se progressão da doença durante os 15 meses de seguimento, que culminou com o falecimento da doente.

Wilms ' tumor is considered one of the most common malignant kidney neoplasms in pediatric age, corresponding to 85-90% of the cases. The incidence in adults is about 0.2 per million per year. In histologic terms there is no difference between the age groups. However, the clinical presentation in adults is not the same. Given the small number of adult cases, there is scant evidence on the most appropriate therapeutic strategy, so the therapeutic options are similar regardless of age. The prognosis is considered worse in adults. This work describes the case of a 23-year-old patient diagnosed with stage IV Wilms ' tumor, which held cytoreductive nephrectomy and pre-and postoperative chemotherapy. Disease progression was observed during the 15 months of follow-up, culminating in the death of the patient.
