Abstract
Background: Nephroblastoma, also known as Wilms tumor, is the second most common intra-abdominal tumor and the most prevalent renal tumor in the pediatric age group, predominantly occurring between 1 and 5 years of age, with bilateral presentation being rare.
Case Report: In this case study, we describe a typical symptom presentation, albeit with the unique aspect of bilateral tumor involvement—a rarity. We delve into the patient's management and observe a favorable progression in their condition.
Conclusion: The significance of this study lies in its assertion as one of the pediatric tumors with an excellent prognosis when detected at an early stage. Conversely, prognosis tends to be slightly worse in advanced stages, emphasizing the critical role of timely diagnosis within pediatric clinical practice.
