title: [Renal adenocarcinoma in a two and a half year old child: Diagnosis, therapeutic management and 10-year followup].
abstract: Renal cell carcinoma is a rare tumour in children and is difficult to diagnose, often leading to inappropriate primary treatment with chemotherapy in Europe. The incidence of renal cell carcinoma is much lower than that of Wilms tumour. These two types can be associated, in which case Wilms tumour is the predominant tumour. However, pure renal cell carcinoma remains an exceptional tumour in children and appears to present an identical natural history and follow-up as in adults. The authors report the case of a two and a half year old child treated by surgery alone with a follow-up of 10 years without recurrence.
