Abstract

Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric renal mass and occurs in up to 10% of predisposition syndromes. One such syndrome is CLOVES syndrome, an extremely rare disorder within the umbrella of PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum disorders. This case presents the management of a bilateral Wilms tumor in a patient with CLOVES syndrome and highlights the many intricacies in caring for complex oncology patients. Particularly highlighted in this case is the delicate line in balancing the risks of treatment-related morbidity against the risks of recurrence in predisposed patients, while still abiding by established treatment guidelines.<br />Competing Interests: CONFLICT OF INTEREST None of the authors of this manuscript have any financial or personal relationships to disclose that could inappropriately influence or bias our work.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
