Recurrent adult nephroblastoma. Long-term remission after surgery plus adjuvant high-dose chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

The authors report a case of Stage IV, unfavorable histologic type adult nephroblastoma. The patient was treated with multimodal therapy: combination chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and etoposide succeeded by nephrectomy and radiation therapy. After a disease-free period of 27 months, a pararectal relapse was treated by surgery, high-dose chemotherapy, and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The patient is alive and disease-free 3.5 years after BMT.
