Abstract:
Wilms’ tumor or nephroblastoma accounts for more than 95% of all kidney tumors in children. It is usually discovered during the first few years of life. It is usually unilateral but can occur bilaterally. It is among the intermediate tumors of the kidney with clear metastatic potential, especially to the lungs. Chemotherapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment. We present a case of Wilms’ tumor in 18 months old female child.
