Highlights
Wilm’s tumors comprise 6% to 7% of childhood cancer; whereas the remaining non-Wilm’s renal tumors comprise less than l% [1]
Bone metastases occur in 40% to 60% of patients with CCSK, unlike less than 2% of patients with Wilms’ tumor
Ultrasonography is the initial investigation, which showed the mass was heterogeneous in echogenicity with cystic components and necrosis
Summary
Wilm’s tumors comprise 6% to 7% of childhood cancer; whereas the remaining non-Wilm’s renal tumors comprise less than l% [1]. We report a case of CCSK in a neonate. Diagnosis of clear cell sarcoma of kidney was made.
