title: Coagulopathy associated with Wilms' tumour: a rare complication.
abstract: Coagulopathies associated with malignancies are not extremely rare, but are uncommonly associated with Wilms' tumour (WT). A 6-month-old female with a WT and an abnormal coagulation profile is reported. Due to the Coagulopathy and elevated D-dimers in the blood, surgery was deferred and chemotherapy was given, after which the coagulation profile became normal.
