Abstract
The authors review the literature data concerning the surgical therapy of pulmonary metastases from genital and urinary tumours. In both cases a combined chemo-surgical treatment is able to increase longterm survival. Some personal cases successfully treated are reported. The case is reported also of a young girl operated on for pulmonary metastases from a Wilms tumour. Successively, a heart transplantation was performed. She is alive and well.
