Accurate staging as per National Wilms' Tumor Study (NWTS) criteria is essential for therapy of Wilms' tumor. We report a unique case of a 9-mo-old white male in whom the diagnosis based upon clinical, radiological, surgical, and initial histopathologic findings was Stage I Wilms' tumor without regard to a positive cytologic examination of a small amount (5 ml) of chylous ascitic fluid obtained intraoperatively. This problem was clarified later at the NWTS panel review when the deeper recuts of a renal hilar lymph node revealed a single cluster of Wilms' tumor cells in capsular sinus, resulting in upstaging of tumor to Stage III. The significance of these findings in relation to staging will be discussed.
