Wilms' tumor in the adult patient.

One documented case of Wilms' tumor in an adult patient is presented. The patient is diagnosed clinically with renal tumor, probably renal carcinoma. Wilms' tumor is extremely difficult to diagnose preoperatively in an adult patient. The pathologic hallmarks of this neoplasm are distinctive and it is histologically similar to the childhood tumor. The therapeutic guidelines and surgical principles governing childhood Wilms' tumor should be applied to adult Wilms' tumor. This patient is still alive after 15 months.

[Repeat hepatic resections].

Five cases of iterative liver resections are presented, out of a total of 150 hepatectomies performed between 1.01.1995-1.01.1998. The resections were carried out for recurrent adenoma (one case), cholangiocarcinoma (two cases), hepatocellular carcinoma (one case), colo-rectal cancer metastasis (one case). Only cases with at least one major hepatic resection were included. Re-resections were more difficult than the primary resection due, first of all, to the modified vascular anatomy. Intraoperative ultrasound permitted localization of intrahepatic recurrences. Iterative liver resection appears to be the best therapeutical choice for patients with recurrent liver tumors.
