title: Adult nephroblastoma with glomerular intracapillary deposits of IgM in the contralateral kidney.
abstract: A 43-year-old man who presented with hematuria had a nephroblastoma in the right kidney. After nephrectomy the patient was treated with irradiation and chemotherapy. Despite the development of pulmonary metastases he remained reasonably well for several years. He died of metastatic disease 8 years after presentation. Histological study of the contralateral kidney at autopsy revealed intracapillary glomerular deposits of IgM.
