Wilms' tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a rare cancer of the kidney that occurs almost exclusively in children. In this case report, a 3-year-old male presented to the hospital with left flank swelling and recurrent fever of 4 months duration. On examination, the abdomen was distended, with associated left flank fullness and distension of the anterior abdominal wall veins. A left nontender firm flank mass was palpated. Upon extensive imaging, the mass was revealed to be a nephroblastoma. The study reviews the use of imaging as a means of achieving a diagnosis and accurately measuring the size and magnitude of the tumor in order that treatment, whether surgery or chemotherapy, be commenced.
