Clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney in a child : case report

Background: Kidney tumours other than nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumours) occur relatively rarely in the pediatric population. They include but are not limited to: nephroma mesoblasticum, rhabdoid tumour of the kidney and clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney. Case Report: In this article we presented a case of a 20-month-old boy with clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney. Concluisons: Imaging studies - including abdominal and chest CT examinations - allow to determine the extent of the disease and help in the initial assessment of the tumour character, as well as in planning the treatment, thus having a positive prognostic impact on the pediatric patients.
