Epithelial Predominant Wilms Tumor in an Adult Patient: Case Report and Literature Review.

Although rare in adults, Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal tumor. Treatment typically involves radical nephrectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation, although outcomes differ between children and adults which may be due to challenges in accurately diagnosing these patients. In this article, we present a case report of an adult patient with Jeune syndrome and multiple urologic abnormalities who underwent radical nephrectomy for a large renal mass and was subsequently diagnosed with an epithelial predominant Wilms tumor. Epithelial predominant Wilms tumor may have distinct origins from other Wilms tumor histological subtypes and may incur better outcomes. Herein, we discuss the literature surrounding this rare entity as well as the anticipated treatment course.

Pediatric Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumors of the Ovary: An Integrated Study of Clinicopathological Features, Pan-cancer-Targeted Next-generation Sequencing and Chromosomal Microarray Analysis From a Single Institution.

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are currently classified into 3 molecular subtypes: DICER1 -mutant (younger patient age), FOXL2 -mutant, and DICER1/FOXL2 -wildtype. However, it is not clear whether all pediatric SLCTs are DICER1 -mutant molecular subtypes and whether other molecular genetic aberrations besides DICER1 are involved in the pathogenesis and prognosis of these tumors. We studied comprehensive data for 8 cases of pediatric SLCTs, including clinicopathological features, pan-cancer-targeted next-generation sequencing/OncoKids panel, and chromosomal microarray analysis, to further analyze the correlation among clinicopathological features, molecular genetic aberrations, and prognosis. The ages of the patients ranged from 4 to 16 years (median, 14 y). Seven cases were moderately differentiated, and one was poorly differentiated with heterologous mesenchymal elements. Two cases had heterologous epithelium or retiform elements. Follow-up was available for all 8 patients (median, 49.5 mo). Seven patients were alive without evidence of recurrence or metastasis, and only case 5 developed metastases (synchronous bilateral pulmonary tumors with rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation). All 8 tumors were found to harbor somatic hotspot DICER1 mutations, and 5 patients carried germline DICER1 mutations (2 of them had the phenotype of DICER1 syndrome). Together with recent studies, the DICER1 mutation frequency is 100% in pediatric SLCTs (n=27, age≤16 y). Copy number alterations were detected in 3 tumors; the only recurrent copy number alterations was the gain of whole chromosome 6 in case 5 and case 8. This is the first report describing clinicopathological features and molecular alterations in pediatric SLCTs. Our results demonstrate that all pediatric SLCTs belong to the DICER1 -mutant molecular subtype, highlighting that somatic hotspot DICER1 mutation detection has high sensitivity (100%) for the auxiliary diagnosis of pediatric SLCTs (age ≤16 y). Some pediatric SLCTs harbor molecular genetic aberrations other than DICER1 mutation, and their significance needs further study.
