Abstract:
A Wilms' tumor is one of the most common primary retroperitoneal neoplasms in children, but the occurrence of an extrarenal Wilms' tumor is extremely rare, with only 60 well-documented cases in the literature. The behavior of the tumor appears to parallel that of similarly staged intrarenal tumors; hence, the staging and management protocols of intrarenal Wilms' tumor can be applied to those with an extrarenal location. Herein, the case of an 8-year-old male who developed an extrarenal Wilms' tumor in the retroperitoneal space, with multiple lung metastases, is reported.
