[General Fantasy] Has there ever been a case of a wizard/necromancer resurrecting himself? How would something like that be accomplished?

Liches, basically. It involves storing ones soul or essence in a specially designed and enchanted receptacle, a phylactery, so if the body is killed you can basically reform another one, so long as the phylactery is intact. Its relatively common (or, at least commonly encountered by adventurers) in many fantasy settings.
