Resumen
Objetivo

El tumor de Wilms o nefroblastoma es el tumor renal más común en la infancia. Su incidencia en adultos es escasa, suponiendo acerca del 1% de los casos, con aproximadamente 200 casos descritos en la literatura. Aportamos un nuevo caso de tumor de Wilms en adulto y hacemos una breve revisión

Observación clínica

Presentamos un caso de tumor de Wilms en un varón de 15 años, con alteraciones génito-urinarias asociadas, diagnosticado recientemente y tratado con nefrectomía radical y quimioterapia post-operatoria

Conclusiones

La presentación del tumor de Wilms en adultos es excepcional, y su diagnóstico definitivo sólo puede realizarse tras el estudio anatomopatológico. La aplicación de los protocolos terapéuticos realizados habitualmente en pediatría conllevan unas tasas de curación menores y un peor pronóstico. Protocolos terapéuticos más agresivos son necesarios para elevar el pobre pronóstico aunque la escasa incidencia hace difícil el poder establecer el tratamiento más efectivo

Abstract
Objective

Wilms´ tumor or nephroblastoma is the most common renal tumor of childhood. The incidence in adults is rare, estimated at about 1% of all cases and approximately 200 cases have been described in the world literature. We report a new case of adult Wilms´ tumor and realize a short review

Methods/results

We describe a case of Wilms´ tumor in a young male, aged 15 years, with associate genitourinary abnormalities. The patient underwent radical nepherctomy with postoperative chemoterapy

Conclusions

The Wilms´ tumor in the adult population is exceptional, and the definitive diagnostic is based in the findings of the pathological analysis. The application of therapeutic protocolos for children to adults offers an smaller percentage of cure and poorer pronostic. Terapheutic protocolos more agressive are necessary for increase the worse pronostic in the adult, but because of the rarity is difficult to define the most effective form of treatment
