The potential risk of a treatment-induced second neoplasia affecting the thyroid is well known after radiation therapy for several types of cancer, but few cases have been related to incidental irradiation for Wilms' tumor. We report a case of a papillary thyroid carcinoma discovered in a young patient 15 years after treatment of a Wilms' tumor. An 18-year-old man was referred to our Endocrinological Department for a single 3 cm nodule in the right lobe of the thyroid. His past medical history included at the age of 2 years surgical resection, chemotherapy (actinomycin-D and vincristine) and cesium radiation therapy to the right side for a Wilms' tumor in stage III: a total dose of 7700 rads was delivered to an area of 17 x 10 cm in the rig...
