Abstract

We are going to report a rare association of dilated cardiomyopathy with Wilms tumour in 2-year old female child. The patient was given neo-adjuvant chemotherapy leading to reduction in size of primary tumour with subsequent improvement in cardiac function. The patient subsequently underwent right nephrectomy with return of cardiac function to normal.
