Renal masses in children may be discovered during routine clinical examination or incidentally during the course of diagnostic or therapeutic procedures for other causes. Renal cancers are rare in the pediatric population and include a spectrum of pathologies that may challenge the clinician in choosing the optimal treatment. Correct identification of the lesion may be difficult, and the appropriate surgical procedure is paramount for lesions suspected to be malignant. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview regarding the spectrum of renal tumors in the pediatric population, both benign and malignant, and their surgical management.

Summary:A 5-year old Dutch Warmblood gelding was presented with bilateral epistaxis, dyspnoea, a stiff gait, a reluctance to move and a wide-base stance, lethargy, anorexia and a muscular defence. Ultrasonography revealed marked pleural effusion on both left and right sides of the thorax and 7 litres of haemorrhagic fluid was drained after placement of a thoracic catheter. Cystoscopy was performed when the horse was showing haematuria several days later and the haemorrhagic fluid was seen originating from the right ureter. Subsequent ultrasonography of the kidneys revealed a mass in the right kidney, from which a tentative diagnosis of a primary tumour of the kidney with metastasis to the thorax was made. Anaplastic sarcoma in both kidneys, lungs and heart of unknown primary origin was diagnosed post mortem resulting in haemothorax and haematuria.Keywords: haemothorax / haeloturia / anaplastic sarcoma / metastasis / kidney tumour / oncology Citation: de Heer N., Compagnie E., Bergmann W., ter Braake F., Kranenburg L.

Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney is an extremely rare tumor, mostly observed in pediatric age group. This tumor is the counterpart of embryonal or undifferentiated sarcoma of the liver and pleuropulmonary blastoma of lung. To the best of the authors' knowledge, only 26 cases were reported in the English literature and the current case, a 3-year-old male, was the 27th reported case with this tumor. It is very important to differentiate this tumor from the Wilm tumor as well as renal cell carcinoma, as they were preoperative diagnosed in all of the reported cases.
