Abstract
Wilms’ tumour is an uncommon indication for renal transplantation in children. The incidence of end-stage renal failure (ESRF) in Wilms’ tumour, indeed, is estimated to be as low as 1% of all Wilms’ tumours (10% of bilateral tumours) in two large recent series [1, 2], and is decreasing with better surgical and medical management.
