[Successful response of reccurent adult wilms' tumor to multiagent chemotherapy].
We report a case of successful response of lung metastases of reccurent adult Wilms' tumor by multiagent chemotherapy. The patient was a 19-year-old woman who had undergone left radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy (actinomycin D, vincristine) for stageadult Wilms' tumor when she was 16 years old. Coputed tomography (CT) revealed multiple lung metastases (right parietal pleura, left S10, right S10). We treated the patient with thoracoscopic partial resection of inferior lobe of lung. Then she received multiagent chemotherapy (vincristine, adriamycin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide). CT scan showed complete response of the lung metastases at 8 months.
