| Summary: | Wilms’ tumor in the current era of multimodality treatment has promising outcome, but approximately 10-15% of the patients with favorable-histology, experience tumor progression or relapse. We hereby present an unusual case of repeated loco-regional recurrences in a patient with stage I intermediate-risk monophasic (epithelial variant) Wilms’ tumor (WT) of pelvic kidney requiring aggressive therapy over a decade and lay emphasis on the importance of initial completion of therapy and need for long term follow-up. |
