title: Hepatic and retroperitoneal tumor resection for late metastases of a Wilms' tumor in an adult patient--a case report.
abstract: Hepatic metastases after a Wilms' tumor in adult patients are seen extremely rarely. A 21 year-old male patient developed liver metastases 13 years after resection of a primary left extrarenal Wilms' tumor. In this case, without any other metastases, extended right curative hepatic lobectomy was performed. The patient was re-admitted 4 months after the hepatic lobectomy for a resection of a new Wilms' tumor metastatic mass in the area of the pancreatic tail. The patient received adjuvant high dose systemic chemotherapy with ordinary bone marrow cell rescue after the 2nd operation. He is alive and well with no signs of new metastases 18 months after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy.
