[Late recurrence of Wilms' tumor].
We present a patient with a Wilms' Tumor recurring after 7 years from the primitive surgical excision. After the relapse, surgery and conventional chemotherapy (with Actinomycin-D, Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine) permitted to achieve a second complete remission. Now the patient is alive without evidence of disease after 4 years from the relapse. The non-complete surgical excision of the tumor and the particular biological activity of the residual cells could explain the late relapse.
