✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Spinal canal involvement is not a common pattern of metastasis in Wilms' tumor. Although early detection and treatment can achieve improvement of neurological deficit, mortality remains high. We present a 5‐year‐old girl who had an epidural metastasis while she was receiving chemotherapy for stage IV Wilms' tumor. Within 2 months following laminectomy, total removal of tumor, radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy some of the neurological signs improved. © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
