Clinical value of ultrasound in adult Wilms' tumor patient with uremia: A case report and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2023
Ultrasonic Department, Ningbo Yinzhou No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhengjiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- Wilms' tumor (WT) is primarily a childhood kidney cancer but can appear in adults, leading to diagnostic challenges and poor outcomes due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging.
- A 45-year-old female with a history of hemodialysis was diagnosed with a right kidney tumor that had spread to the lung, identified using ultrasound and contrast-enhanced imaging techniques which highlighted its irregular characteristics.
- This case emphasizes the significant role of ultrasound, especially contrast-enhanced ultrasound, in diagnosing adult WT, suggesting its potential to improve understanding and outcomes in similar cases.

Historically, kidney failure and death were common outcomes, however, improved understanding of the condition has led to discovery of novel therapies.
