Introduction


Wilms tumour is one of the most common solid neoplasia of the childhood and the most common tumour of genito-urinary tract in that age group.1 Its origin in location other than kidney is rare. Only 57 such cases could be found in international literature mostly in infants and older children.2 Willms tumours are the malignancies with a characteristic histology seen typically during childhood and almost exclusively arising from the Kidney.3 In United States the incidence remained constant at 7.8 per million populations per year.4Extra renal sites for origin of Wilm’s tumour are extremely rare. The diagnosis of extra renal Wilms tumour is made only after a primary tumour of the kidneys has been ruled out with a secondary extra renal metastasis.5 Below we report a case of extra-renal Wilm's tumour in a neonate with intra spinal extension through vertebral column.
