Secondary Ovarian Germ Cell Tumor Following Wilms Tumor after Eight
Years Post-Treatment: A Rare Case Report
Abstract
Wilms tumor (WT), or nephroblastoma, is a rare pediatric kidney cancer
that poses significant clinical challenges. Despite advancements in
treatment, WT survivors face the risk of secondary malignant neoplasms
(SMNs). This report discusses an 11-year-old girl who developed a
secondary juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary eight years after
being treated for stage III WT. Initial treatment included nephrectomy,
chemotherapy, and radiation. The secondary tumor, identified through
imaging and surgery, highlights the importance of extended follow-up.
This case underscores the need for vigilance in monitoring WT survivors
for late-onset complications, even beyond the typical five-year
surveillance period.
