Early multimodal therapy in adult Wilms' tumor: case report.
Wilms' tumor occurs rarely in adults, especially after the third decade. In adults, the prognosis of Wilms' tumor is worse than in children. In this case report, we present a 48-year old patient who relapsed with advanced stage shortly after primary surgery. A definitive treatment plan has not been established because of the rarity of this tumor in adults. After surgical removal, multimodal therapy should be begun immediately for long-lasting, complete remission.
