Abstract
Introduction: Wilm’s Tumor (WT) is the most common childhood kidney cancer. Whereas most WTs are isolated, approximately 5% are associated with Denys Drash syndrome, with additional manifestations such as early-onset nephrotic syndrome and disorders of sexual development.
Case: A 10 - month - old male child presented with abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan and laboratory tests showed he had bilateral Wilm’s tumor, nephrotic syndrome and left undescended testicle. Genetic test showed WT mutation. He was removed the right tumor and the right kidney. He is now receiving chemotherapy.
Conclusion: The genetic test revealed WT1 mutation which is compatible with Denys Drash Syndrome. This is a rare syndrome and has poor prognosis due to progress to kidney failure.
Keywords: Bilateral Wilms’ tumor, nephrotic syndrom, WT1 mutation
