Abstract :
Background: Wilms' tumor, nephroblastoma, is an extremely uncommon kidney tumor of
adulthood. We reported a woman with a huge kidney mass diagnosed with nephroblastoma.
Case presentation: A 39-year-old female was assessed due to right flank pain. CT scan
revealed a mass measuring 128×100 mms involving the upper portion of the right kidney.
The patient underwent nephrectomy, and the diagnosis of adult Wilms' tumor was confirmed
based on the morphological and immunohistochemical findings.
Conclusion: In adult patients with flank pain and renal mass, the diagnosis of Wilms' tumor
should be pronounced in the absence of histopathologic features of renal cell carcinoma.
