RESUMEN
El tumor de Wilms (TW) es el tumor renal maligno más frecuente en la infancia. Entre el 5-7% de los pacientes se presentan con enfermedad TW bilateral, de forma sincrónica o metacrónica. El TW bilateral generalmente ocurre en pacientes pequeños y más frecuentemente en niñas. La cirugía es un componente crítico en el tratamiento para lograr una alta tasa de curación preservando la mayor cantidad de masa renal. La quimioterapia preoperatoria a menudo reduce significativamente el tamaño del tumor, facilitando la cirugía posterior. Los pacientes con TW bilateral deben ser tratados en centros con experiencia en esta patología. El manejo de estos pacientes es aún un desafío (AU)
ABSTRACT
Wilms tumor (WT) is the most common malignant kidney tumor in childhood. Between 5-7% of the patients present with synchronous or metachronous bilateral WT. Bilateral WT typically occurs in young patients and most frequently in girls. Surgery is a critical component of the treatment as it has a high rate of cure while preserving the largest kidney mass. Preoperative chemotherapy often significantly reduces the size of the tumor, facilitating subsequent surgery. Patients with bilateral WT should be managed at centers with experience treating this disease. The management of these patients is still a challenge (AU)
