A surgical approach on an emergency basis for removal of Wilms' tumor with intracardiac neoplastic extension.
Extension of Wilms' tumor through inferior vena cava into the heart two years after the completion of therapy, is a very rare clinical aspect. We successfully operated on a 7 year old girl who had a huge right atrial mass which filled the right ventricle and right ventricular out flow tract, on an emergency basis using cardiopulmonary bypass.
