RESUMO

Wilms’ tumor is an uncommon neoplasm in adults. We report the clinical manifestations, complementary explorations, treatment, and results from 3 males aged 16, 21, and 22 years. Computed tomography commonly suggests the diagnosis. Despite its aggressive treatment, such as radical surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy, the prognosis is worse than in children.
