[Prolonged survival of an adult with Wilms' tumor]

We report on an adult patient who underwent surgery for Wilms' tumor or nephroblastoma with a prolonged survival. At 13 years post-operatively, the patient is alive and disease-free, a father of two children, and has an active working and social life. Recent blood analyses, chest X-ray and abdominal ultrasound scan were unremarkable. We reviewed the cases of Wilms' tumor reported in the world literature highlighting the survivorship reported by some of the authors. To our knowledge, of the adult patients reported with this malignant tumor type, ours has the longest survival.
