Abstract :
The brain is a rare site for metastasis in most extracranial pediatric solid
tumors, including Wilm’s tumor. Outcome for these patients are generally
dismal. Very few cases have been reported to have good survival even after
therapy. This paper reports a case of stage IV Wilm’s tumor with lung
metastases in a patient who developed a solitary brain metastasis five months
after completion of chemotherapy. She underwent resection of the brain
tumor followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient was alive at
the 20-month follow up after diagnosis of brain metastasis and was considered
to have radiologically stable disease.
