Abstract:
Bone metastases and intraspinal spread are rare events in Wilms tumor. We report 2 cases of Wilms tumor with vertebral metastases associated with spinal cord compression; 1 case was reported during diagnosis and the other at relapse. Both children benefited from emergency surgical decompression followed by intensive multimodality therapy, resulting in long-term disease-free remission.
