title: Intracardiac extension of a Wilms' tumour.
abstract: A case report is presented of a Wilms' tumour in a three-year-old child. Direct intravascular extension into the heart led to a fatal outcome. Though a rare complication, clinical suspicion, combined with appropriate investigation and management, should lead to salvage of such a patient.
