Abstract

Abdominal lump in a child is a common and worrisome clinical presentation which necessitates many radiological and hematological investigations for diagnosis. Though differential diagnoses are many, detailed history taking and thorough clinical examination can help in diagnosing the organ involved before doing investigations. We are presenting a case of Stage 2 Wilms tumour in a 5 year old child presented with abdominal lump and pallor.
