The current management of bilateral Wilms tumor is reviewed and the high incidence of concurrent anomalies with bilateral Wilms tumor is demonstrated in 4 of 5 children. Standardization of management has not been established. Of the 5 patients, 3 survived 30 mo.-11 yr without recurrent tumor. Two had unilateral nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy, while 1 had bilateral nephrectomy and allotransplant. All survivors have had adjunctive chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
