- Abstract: Introduction: Wilms tumor is the major kidney neoplasm in childhood. Approach to therapy gives a 90% 2-year survival rate. However, the mortality rate in developing countries is relatively still high. Research about the clinicopathological profile of Wilms tumor in Indonesia is very limited. This study aimed to investigate the Wilms tumor patients in an Indonesian setting. Methods: This research was a descriptive observational study using a cross-sectional design. Clinical and pathological data were collected from patients’ medical records in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, from 2011 to 2016. Results: Twenty-five patients were recruited with 52% female subjects. The mean age at the first diagnosis was 38 months. All patients had unilateral tumors. The tumor size was mostly (67%) equal or more than 10 cm. The most frequent symptom was abdominal mass. Ninety-two percent of patients have favorable histology. Most cases (68%) had triphasic morphology. The most common metastasis site of tumor was the liver, followed by the lung, skeletal bone, and spleen. Eighty-four percent of patients received chemotherapy, 80% received surgery, and 28% received radiotherapy. The gender distribution and the most common metastasis site in this study were different compared to previous studies. Conclusion: The clinicopathological profile of Wilms tumor in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, generally matches with other studies from other countries, except the gender distribution and the most common metastasis site. Further prospective studies regarding the prognosis of the patients are urgently needed.
