[Adult Wilms tumour].
Wilms tumour is an exceptional tumour in adults. This diagnosis, often histological, is generally established at a more advanced clinical stage than in children and the prognosis, for the same clinical stage, is comparatively poorer in adults. Treatment consists of radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The authors report a case of Wilms tumour in an adult treated by a combination of radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. The patient is currently in clinical remission with a follow-up of 2 years.
