Abstract
An infant with a cystic, partially-differentiated nephroblastoma (CPDN ) also had contralateral nephroblastomatosis, diagnosed on ultrasound and computerised tomography scans. Histology revealed bilateral nephro blastomatosis in addition to the right-sided CPDN. While CPDN is gener ally regarded as a tumour with a favourable prognosis, the association with bilateral nephroblastomatosis in this patient raised certain pro blems in management.
