Abstract

Nephroblastoma (Wilm’s Tumour) is the commonest paediatric renal cancer worldwide. It is uncommon in infants less than six months of age and very rarely seen in neonates.  The uncommon presentation of nephroblastoma in the newborn period of this two month old, depicts the possibility of its sporadic occurrence in this age group. Due to the rarity of such occurrence, there is a risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. We therefore present this report to raise awareness of its possibility of occurence.
