Extractions: What is Wilms tumor? Wilms tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is a malignant (cancerous) tumor originating in the cells of the kidney. It is the most common type of renal (kidney) cancer and accounts for about 6 percent of all childhood cancers. Approximately 400 children in the US are diagnosed with a Wilms tumor each year. The disease can occur at any age between infancy and 15 years, but, in most cases, the tumor is detected by the age of 3. This cancer affects males and females equally. The tumor can be very large and it may spread (metastasize) to other body tissues. The most common site for Wilms tumor to metastasize is the lungs. Lesions may also occur, however, in the liver, the other kidney, brain, and/or bones. In approximately 5 to 10 percent of children with Wilms tumor, both kidneys are involved. What causes Wilms tumor?

Extractions: Childhood: Wilms' Tumor More info on this condition Risk Factors Sex: Girls have a slightly higher risk of developing Wilms' tumor than boys. Ethnic background: The risk of Wilms' tumor is higher in African-Americans than in Caucasians. Asian-Americans have the lowest risk of developing the disease. Genetics: Most cases of Wilms' tumor are non-hereditary. However, some children appear to develop Wilms' tumor for genetic reasons. A small number of patients have a relative with the disease. Children with Wilms' tumor may have inherited an abnormal gene from a parent that increases the risk of this cancer. An altered, damaged or missing gene may also cause Wilms' tumor. Such gene mutations can also cause other birth defects. About 15 percent of children with Wilms' tumor may have other birth defects. WAGR syndrome is a birth defect that includes Wilms' tumor, a lack of the colored area in the child's eyes (aniridia), defects of the kidneys, urinary tract, clitoris, ovaries, penis, scrotom or testicles (genitorurinary tract abnormalities) and mental retardation. Children with WAGR syndrome have a 33 percent chance of developing Wilms' tumor. Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome have a high risk of developing Wilms' tumor. This syndrome is characterized by having larger-than-normal internal organs and an oversized leg or arm on one side of the body. Children with this syndrome may experience kidney cysts and tumors of the pancreas or adrenal gland.
