Congenital anomalies in children with Wilms' tumor: a new survey

Congenital anomalies in children with Wilms' tumor: a new survey

T W Pendergrass. Cancer. 1976 Jan.

Abstract

From 68 hospitals in the National Wilms' Tumor Study, records of 547 patients showed six patients with aniridia, 16 with hemihypertrophy, and 24 with genitourinary abnormalities. Multiple cases of Wilms' tumor occurred in three families. The results confirm high frequencies of aniridia and genitourinary anomalies in patients with Wilms' tumor, and show that concurrence with hemihypertrophy may be more often recognized or recorded now than it was ten years ago. The results demonstrate the desirability of developing checklists for other childhood neoplasms some of which have their own constellation of anomalies.
