Clinical case of nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) in a newborn

Abstract

Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) is one of the most common malignant embryonic tumors in children. Nephroblastoma accounts for 5-11% of all childhood tumors, and its frequency is 0.4 to 1 per 10,000 live births. It is most common in children under the age of 5 years, rarely in newborns and adults. We have presented our own clinical observation of a premature newborn girl, starting from the 1st day of life, the dynamics of the disease, comprehensive examination and treatment, including highly specialized care, are reflected. There was an unfavorable prognosis with a fatal outcome at the age of 13 days, taking into account risk factors: early age, antenatal realization in the form of nephromegaly in the neonatal period with diffuse anaplasia. The causes of death were cardiopulmonary insufficiency and progressive renal insufficiency.
