Abstract
The diagnosis of multiple or diffuse renal lesions in a child is challenging by imaging and/or pathology. Optimal management requires distinguishing benign lesions such as nephrogenic rests from cancerous lesions such as Wilms tumor, but this is often difficult or impossible. This difficulty is compounded by the overlapping nature of our current radiologic and pathologic definitions of lesions along the spectrum of nephrogenic rests/nephroblastomatosis. We provide a review of these issues, as a collaborative effort between the Children's Oncology Group Renal Tumor Committee and International Society of Pediatric Oncology Renal Tumor Study Group. Our aim is to discuss current challenges in diagnosis and management of these renal lesions, encouraging future work toward consensus definitions for research and patient care.
