[The effect of preoperative embolization of Wilms' tumor].
The case was a 2-year and 11-month-old boy with Wilms' tumor. Preoperative embolization using gelatin sponge was performed after diagnosis of aortography. Immediately after the treatment, tumor size and vascularity were reduced remarkably. Nephrectomy was carried out without remarkable bleeding and the tumor was removed easily.
