Abstract

Nephrogenic rest is the metanephric blastema that persists at birth. When found in multiple numbers, these rests are referred to as nephroblastomatosis. We report a rare case of a 3 month old female infant with bilateral nephroblastoma detected soon after birth and treated successfully with chemotherapy alone. Regular investigative procedures are a must to reveal these kind of rare disorders.
