Abstract

WILMS TUMOR (nephroblastoma) in adults is rare. Only 3% of Wilms tumors are reported in adults. Most adult patients are diagnosed unexpectedly following nephrectomy for presumed renal cell carcinoma. We present a 40 yr old female patient who came with complaints of lump and pain in left lumbar and hypochondrium region. After examination and workup, provisionally diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma of left kidney. Radical nephrectomy was done and histopathology revealed Wilms tumor.
