Overview
Histology of the biopsy sample taken during surgery is the gold standard for the diagnosis of wilms tumor. Most of the tumors of the kidney have a favorable histology(90%).If anaplastic changes(3-7%) are found then the outcome is poor. If a case of wilms tumor is suspected in North America, then nephrectomy is done immediately. Contralateral kidney is also explored to check for disease and lymph node biopsies done. If tumor spill occurs then whole abdomen radiotherapy has to be done.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- Histology of the biopsy sample taken during surgery is the gold standard for the diagnosis of wilms tumor.[1][2]
Diagnostic results
The following result of histology is confirmatory of wilms tumor:[3]
- Triphasic histology comprising -
- Anaplastic changes
- Most of the tumors of the kidney have a favorable histology(90%).
- If anaplastic changes(3-7%) are found then the outcome is poor.[4]
Sequence of Diagnostic Studies
The surgical examination and biopsy must be performed when:
- If a case of wilms tumor is suspected in North America, then nephrectomy is done immediately.
- Contralateral kidney is also explored to check for disease and lymph node biopsies done.
- Transcutaneous biopsy samples are almost never taken to prevent:
- Tumor spill - If this occurs then whole abdomen radiotherapy has to be done.
