Abstract

This is a case report of a metachronous bilateral Wilms' tumor. One year after the removal of the left kidney for a sarcomatous Wilms' tumor, the 5-year-old boy developed a metastatic lesion in the right kidney. Following radiation and chemotherapy autotransplantation was performed by means of bench surgery to remove the lesion completely. The patient experienced renal and adrenal insufficiency after the surgery and received radiation. He has been on chemotherapy and has been doing well one and a half years after the second operation.
