Abstract

More than 90% of malignant renal tumors encountered in children are Nephroblastoma. Renal Cell Carcinoma is extremely rare in children but in children older than 5 years with renal masses it is very important to suspect diagnosis. We present a 6 years old child primarily presented with abdominal mass and haematuria. The mass was described by ultrasonography & computer tomography as Wilms’ Tumour which is commonest before 5 years of age with peak age of presentation is 3 years of life. Surgery is the best treatment and prognosis is favorable when tumour is localized and completely eradicated. In our case no adjuvant therapy was given nephrectomy
