ABSTRACT
Wilms' tumor is malignant renal tumor, originated from undifferentiated mesonephric blastema. Adult Wilms' tumor, unlike that of childhood, is a rare disease and a total of l67 cases have been reported in the world medical literature until 1980. Diagnosis of adut Wilms` tumor is very difficult preoperatively and the pathologic hallmark is the presence of abortive or embryonal glomerulotubular structure with an immature spindle cell stroma. The therapeutic guidelines and surgical principles that govern childhood Wilms' tumor should be applied to adult Wilms' tumor. We reported a case of Wilms' tumor developed in 34 year-old male patient complaining of right flank pain with gross hematuria for 2 months.
