ABSTRACT
We present the case of a boy who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation at the age of 14 years because of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy 9 years after treatment of a Wilms tumor of the left kidney. Three years after heart transplantation the patient enjoys a normal daily life. Invasive studies show normal cardiac hemodynamic results and in spite of previous nephrectomy and long-term cyclosporine treatment, renal function is only slightly impaired. So far no secondary neoplasia has occurred under chronic immunosuppression.
