“…Wilms' tumor accounts for 6-13% of all malignancies in children [1,2] and for 0.5-9% of kidney tumors in adults [2], Radiologic studies cannot differentiate Wilms' tumor from renal adenocarcinoma in adults. Only a highly radiosensitive inoperabe tumor could sug gest to us the diagnosis [2][3][4][5], This case is clinically inter esting because of the pathology and the treatment under taken.…”
We present herewith a case of Wilms’ tumor in an adult patient. He underwent radical surgery, chemotherapy (adriamycin, actinomycin, vincristine and cyclophosphamide) and radiotherapy. He is alive and free of disease after 48 months of follow-up.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
