A Case of Wilms Tumor with Thrombi which Invaded the Right Ventricule

ABSTRACT

Wilms tumor is the second most common malignant retroperitoneal tumor. Inferior vena cava and right atrial involvement is found in about 4-10% and 0.5-3% of cases, respectively. But, right ventricular involvement has not been reported. We experienced a case of Wilms tumor with right ventricular invasion in a 2 year-old male who presented intermittent hematuria and abdominal pain. Computed tomogram and echocardiogram showed a homogeneous mass extended to right ventricle via inferior vena cava. He received pre-operative chemotherapy followed by operation, radiation therapy including heart, and post-operative chemotherapy.
