Abstract
Nephroblastoma or Wilms tumor, a common embryonal tumor in children, can occasionally occur in adults. The survival of patients older than 18 years is reported to be significantly inferior to that of pediatric patients. Establishing a diagnosis for these rare tumors can be challenging for both clinicians and pathologists, who are not accustomed to considering Wilms tumor as a potential differential in adults. This leads to misdiagnosis and a subsequent delay in the initiation of appropriate therapy. The standard of care is not well established for Wilms tumors in adults. We provide here a comprehensive review of the international literature on the subject with the current management protocols in France. We also propose the need of strong inter-disciplinary collaboration between surgeons, pathologists, and medical and pediatric oncologists for increasing knowledge and formulating treatment strategies for these rare tumors. Homogenous guidelines for treating adults with Wilms t umors have been proposed for all patients in France.
