Malignant renal tumors cover 6% of all childhood cancers (Pastore et al. 2006). Wilms tumor or nephroblastoma is largely the most common type of cancer in the kidney of children, accounting for more than 90% of primary renal tumors. Other tumors, like clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), renal medullary carcinoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN), primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney, adenoma of the kidney, oncocytoma, and others, are much rarer. As their treatment and prognosis is quite different from Wilms tumor, an early timely diagnosis is crucial to deliver the best treatment to patients.
