Overview
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-CT and biopsy may be helpful in the diagnosis of wilms' tumor.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other diagnostic studies for wilms tumor include:
- PET scan[1]
- 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-CT.
- Wilms tumor is 18F-FDG avid, and 18F-FDG-PET-CT imaging adds clinically applicable information to conventional imaging.
- This may be particularly helpful in patients with bilateral disease or those receiving preoperative chemotherapy.
- 18F-FDG-PET-CT highlights FDG-avid areas in the tumor and metastases.
- This corresponds to histologically confirmed active disease.
- Biopsy
- Histology of the biopsy sample taken during surgery is the gold standard for the diagnosis of wilms tumor.[2][3]
- The following result of histology is confirmatory of wilms tumor:[4]
- Triphasic histology comprising -
- Anaplastic changes
- Most of the tumors of the kidney have a favorable histology(90%).
- If anaplastic changes(3-7%) are found then the outcome is poor.[5]
