Description
Michel Kalongo Ilumbulumbu and a large team present a 2026 case of a rare nerve sheath tumor in a six-year-old girl that mimicked a kidney tumor. The malignant Triton tumor is an aggressive variant with muscle-type differentiation. It is seldom seen in the belly cavity of children.
The girl arrived with a painful right flank mass and trouble using her leg. Ultrasound suggested Wilms tumor, the common childhood kidney cancer. Surgery found the mass stuck to the spine, and tissue testing after removal gave the true diagnosis. Gentle chemotherapy followed, but the tumor returned quickly and she died within weeks. The authors stress early tissue confirmation and team-based care, especially where advanced testing is scarce.
