Wilms tumor is rare in adulthood. The prognosis is poor when compared with children. Adults more frequently present with advanced disease stages, and chemotherapy has a moderate effect. The various protocols of chemotherapy and indications for surgery and radiotherapy are not yet precisely defined, mainly due to the rarity of the disease. Here we report a case of adult Wilms tumor with spinal metastases who remains disease free for 3 years after undergoing multimodality treatment.
