Abstract
Wilms tumor rarely occurs in other sites outside the kidney. Various congenital malformations
often accompany Wilms tumor, but spinal deformations are rarely seen. We report a
very rare association of multiple spinal malformations, right kidney absence, and
pelvic Wilms tumor in a 21-month-old girl. The report includes a brief review of relevant
literature.
