Synchronous Ipsilateral Wilms’ Tumor and Neuroblastoma in an Infant

Abstract

Wilms’ tumor (WT) and neuroblastoma (NB), the two most common extra-cranial solid malignant tumors, are seldom seen together in the same patient. A 10-month girl presented with a right retroperitoneal mass. A preoperative diagnosis of Wilms’ tumor (WT) was made. She was given preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery. At surgery a renal mass (WT) and a suprarenal mass (neuroblastoma – NB) were removed. She finally succumbed to metastatic NB in the postoperative period.
