We describe 2 cases of proximal tubular defects induced by the administration of ifosfamide at a dosage of 6 g/m^2^/course over 2 days in children with a diagnosis of malignant mesenchymal tumors. This adverse effect could be minimized dividing dosage of the drug. However at present it is not clear if divided doses are completely safe.
