wilms tumor/fever

The case was that of a 21-month-old infant who presented a great inoperable Wilm's tumor that was treated with vincristine to the point of practically disappearing. Severe typhoid fever that was complicated by multiple intestinal parasitoses (ascariasis, trichuriasis, giardiasis and

A syndrome of fever, lethargy, irritability and rash occurred in patients undergoing surgery, irradiation and chemotherapy for Wilms' tumor. The incidence, course and severity of these findings are described. Potential etiologic factors are analyzed and a hypothesis advanced.

BACKGROUND Survival rates of Wilms' tumors are correlated to tumor histology. Clinical studies and histological investigations have shown that different histological tumor components of Wilms' tumors also reveal different sensitivities to cytostatic agents and ionizing radiation. The aim of this

BACKGROUND Wilms tumor is one of general solid cancers that occur in children, which carries a death rate of 7-8 in a million. The cure rate of Wilms tumor in the recent 30 years has dramatically been improved, but a proper remedy is still not prepared enough in terms of application in tumor therapy

Wilms' tumor is the second most common tumor in children, accounting for 6% to 7% of all childhood tumors. However, in adults, it is a rare occurrence. The true incidence of adult Wilms' tumor is difficult to ascertain because of its rarity in the adult population. A review of literature

Two of fifteen patients treated in the last 5 years in our hospital for malignant renal tumors developed a venoocclusive disease (VOD). Both had stage II Wilms' tumors with favorable histology. The VOD occurred in the pre- and postoperative period, respectively, some days after application of

Embryonal tumors (21 Wilms' tumors, 11 neuroblastomas, 9 rhabdomyosarcomas) and 16 sarcomas of the skeleton of childhood were studied with an autoradiographic in vitro method according to the responsibility to hyperthermia 42.5 degrees C/120 min, to Cyclophosphamide, to Doxorubicin, and to

A case of Wilms' tumor in an adult patient is presented. The tumor in adults is rather rare and has an unfavorable prognosis. A 39-year-old man bruised his left flank while skiing in February, 1983. He noticed severe left flank pain. The pain subsided after a week of rest. However, he complained of

Wilms Tumor (WT) is a very rare malignancy in adults representing 1% of all renal neoplasms. It is however the most common renal tumor of children and adult patients are treated like pediatric cases. Bilateral tumors occur in 5% of adult cases. The typical presenting features are asymptomatic

Synchronous cancers are extraordinarily rare in pediatric patients and present a therapeutic challenge. Patient A presented with synchronous unilateral Wilms tumor (WT) and standard-risk (SR) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Genetic testing revealed bialleleic BRCA2/FANCD1 mutations.

Forty-two cases with Wilms' tumor encountered in the National Taiwan University Hospital from 1978 through 1989 were retrospectively reviewed. Included were 19 boys and 23 girls, with an age range at diagnosis from 7 days to 10 years; a majority were in the first 6 years of life. The presenting

OBJECTIVE To improve prognosis of the patients with advanced Wilms' tumor, the authors compared different therapeutic strategies including preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), conventional preoperative chemotherapy and initial surgery. METHODS Sixty-two patients aged from 5

Veno-occlusive disease (VOD) of the liver was diagnosed in 8 patients with Wilms' tumour and peliosis hepatis (PH) in one. Fever of obscure origin, vague abdominal pain, hepatomegaly or hepatosplenomegaly, severe anaemia or sudden, unexplained drop in haemoglobin, thrombocytopenia, increasing serum

Medical records of 71 children with Wilms' tumor at Sisli Etfal Education and Research Hospital between 1990 and 2014 were reviewed. Mean age at diagnosis was 3.11 years (2 days-7 years). Male to female ratio was M/F = 6/10. The incidence of associated anomaly was 16.9%. Clinical manifestations
