ABSTRACT:
Wilms’ tumor is also known as nephroblastoma. It is a rare cancer of the kidney which can be found exclusively in young children. It is fourth most common pediatric cancer found in children younger than five years old. Wilm's tumor can grow for a long time without any characteristic symptoms, causing only fever, abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting, which is the reason why it is often discovered accidentally. With current multimodality therapy, approximately 80-90% of children with a diagnosis of Wilms tumor survive.1 This article presents a case report of a 7-year-old girl child with wilms’ tumor stage IV with poor prognosis.
