Abstrakt: Paraneoplastic erythrocytosis in patients with Wilms' tumors is exceedingly rare, with only three reported cases in the literature. We report a case of a young man with Wilms' tumor with a significant erythrocytosis but a normal serum erythropoietin level and a tumor that elaborated erythropoietin.
