    • The cases highlight diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes in adult Wilms' tumor.
    • Survival rates are compared with existing global literature.

    Findings:

    • Aggressive multimodal therapy is essential for improving survival.
    • Transperitoneal surgical approach with chest access is recommended for maximal resection.
    • Standard chemotherapy includes actinomycin D and vincristine.
    • Radiation therapy should be considered for nephroblastoma treatment.

    Implications:

    • Findings emphasize the need for aggressive management strategies for adult Wilms' tumor.
    • The study contributes to understanding the prognosis and treatment of this rare adult cancer.
    • Highlights the importance of surgical technique and adjuvant therapies in optimizing patient outcomes.
