SUMMARY: Wilms tumor relapses are infrequent, occurring in approximately 15% of favorable histology patients. Very few cases of late recurrent relapse exist in the literature. Long-term survival after autologous stem cell rescue ranges from 40% to 73%, but there are very few reports of patients transplanted in their third complete response. We report a late recurrent relapse of Wilms tumor successfully treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue in his third complete response who remains disease free 15 months posttransplant.
