Abstract:
Wilms' tumor is one of the most common abdominal neoplasms in the pediatric age group. The incidence of bilateral involvement is generally estimated to be 5 to 10 per cent. In the past, synchronous bilateral Wilms' tumor was almost always atal but multidisciplinary treatments have resulted in clearly improved prognosis. When the clinical characteristics of patient with bilateral tumors were compared with those of patients with unilateral tumors, several features became evident. Herein the authors report a case of a 7 month old infant with synchronous bilateral Wilms' tumor with congenital anomalies.
