[Pediatric renal cell carcinoma. A rare differential diagnosis of Wilms' tumor]

Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a very rare pediatric disease and should be treated as an entity of its own because of differences in symptoms, therapy, and prognosis from the adult form of the disease. Our objective is to discuss the difficulties in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of this very rare disease in children and to provide a review of the current literature.
