Abstract

A 19 month old girl was diagnosed to have Wilms tumour. She was also detected to have bilateral aniridia. There were no other congenital anomalies. Her twin sister also has bilateral aniridia, but no evidence of Wilms tumour. The child was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. She continues to be alive and disease-free at 30 months of follow up.
