Primary Renal Neuroblastoma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Curr Pediatr Rev
January 2025
Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor found in childhood.
Case Representation: Primary renal neuroblastoma has been reported in the literature as case reports. Almost all cases had a preliminary diagnosis of Wilms tumor and were diagnosed as neuroblastoma after nephrectomy.
Objective: Increased survival rates in childhood cancer have led to an emphasis on the importance of treatment-related infertility. Fertility preservation methods should be explained to every patient and their families (PaFs) before treatment. Establishing good communication with PaFs is crucial in this regard despite many barriers such as cultural and financial barriers.

- During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, the study assessed respiratory viral infections in children with cancer, highlighting their clinical impact.
- Of the 265 episodes evaluated, human rhinovirus/enterovirus was the most common pathogen identified, with significant complications noted, including a higher rate of lower respiratory tract infections.
- The findings emphasize the necessity for quicker detection and treatment of respiratory viruses to prevent severe outcomes in this vulnerable population.
Article Synopsis
- Optic pathway gliomas (OPG) are rare tumors in children, with factors like lesion extent, visual function, and neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) influencing treatment decisions; a study evaluated treatment and outcomes of 95 patients over 31 years.
- The first-line treatment for most patients was a one-year chemotherapy regimen of vincristine and carboplatin, avoiding radiotherapy unless necessary, with many patients showing stable disease without treatment.
- Overall survival rates were high among patients (97.2% at ten years), but progression-free survival was significantly better in those with NF1, highlighting the effectiveness of chemotherapy and the potential to avoid radiotherapy in these patients.
Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is the most common cancer in adolescents and young adults. A family history of HL increases the risk of developing HL in other family members. Identification of genetic predisposition variants in HL is important for understanding disease aetiology, prognosis, and response to treatment.
