Wilm`s tumor is the most common solid malignant neoplasm of the urinary system in children. It comprises 6% of all tumors in this group. This disease is rare in the neonatal period and until now only 20 cases have been published. The treatment of this kind of tumor has changed in the last 2 decades and four year survival rate has increased to 90%. The mean age at presentation is 3.5 years old. We present a case of neonatal unilateral Wilm`s tumor in an 8-day old patient whose tumor was removed by means of a right nephrectomy operation. Afterwards he received standard chemotherapy. There was no recurrence of the tumor aoter a follow up period of 5 years.
