A 3-year-old girl with Wilms' tumor developed pulmonary metastases 5 months after diagnosis. All but one of the visible lesions disappeared after thoracic irradiation and multiple-agent chemotherapy. Subsequent thoracotomy revealed 17 small nodules in addition to the visible lesion, and all of them proved to be fibromas. It would appear that the Wilms' tumor metastases to the lung were made to mature to benign neoplastic processes after the treatments given.
一名3岁的肾母细胞瘤女孩在诊断后5个月出现了肺转移。除一个可见病灶外,所有可见病灶在胸部放疗和多药化疗后均消失。随后的开胸手术显示,除了可见病灶外,还有17个小结节,所有这些结节均被证实为纤维瘤。看来,在给予治疗后,肾母细胞瘤的肺转移灶已成熟为良性肿瘤过程。
