Abstract
- Wilms' tumor is composed of a mixture of epithelial, stromal and blastematous elements in varing proportions. Adult Wilms' tumor, unlike that of childhood is a rare disease. Spontaneous rupture of the kidney with subcapsular or perirenal hematoma also is rarely seen in malignant renal tumor. A case of adult Wilms' tumor in 65-year old female is here reported, associated with spontaneous renal rupture, which was treated with radical nephrectomy and chemotherapy (vincristine, actinomycin D and doxorubicin).
