Wilms’ tumor or Nephroblastoma is the second most common mailgnant abdominal tumor in childhood. It usually occurs in children between 2-5 yr of age and is very rare in adolescent and adults. In here, we report the case of a 15-year-old female with Wilms’ tumor. On imaging studies, we confirmed the presence of a 22×18×13cm mass in the right kidney. A radical transabdominal nephrectomy was performed and the mass showed histologically Wilms’ tumor. She received combination chemotherapy according to NWTS(national Wilms’ tumor study)-Ⅳ guidelines and have been alive and well for the last 8 months without severe complication or relapse.
