TI  - Alteration of Wilms' tumor staging by cytologic detection of malignant cells in 
      chylous ascites.
PG  - 357-9
AB  - 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.
