Case review: adult epithelial type Wilms tumor in a 23-year-old female

1

Wilms tumor is a rare renal malignancy primarily affecting children, with adult cases accounting for less than 5% of occurrences.
2

Epithelial-type Wilms tumor is an even rarer variant that can mimic other renal malignancies, complicating diagnosis.
3

A 23-year-old woman presented with painless hematuria and a palpable right kidney mass, leading to a diagnosis of epithelial-type Wilms tumor.
4

Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, showing no metastasis and clear surgical margins after right radical nephrectomy.
5

Early diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies are crucial for improving outcomes in adult patients with rare renal tumors.
