Description
Negash's team at Jimma report an infant whose kidney tumor wore a strong Wilms disguise. The boy, eight months old, carried a growing right-side belly mass. Scans showed a large renal tumor wrapping vessels and flecked with calcium. Those features pointed the team toward Wilms tumor.
Per protocol, chemo preceded radical kidney removal. Under the microscope, the call flipped: rosettes and neuropil marked a poorly formed neuroblastoma. Marker staining confirmed it, and neuroblastoma-directed chemo followed. The child reached full remission, but the authors urge biopsy when imaging looks atypical for Wilms. The first chemo was for Wilms.
