Abstract
- Extrarenal Wilms' tumor is extremely rare and occurs predominantly in children. There are less than 50 well-documented cases of extrarenal Wilms' tumor in the literature. Herein, a case of extrarenal Wilms' tumor, whose mass was found in the inguinal region during an operation for the cryptorchidism, is reported in a 2 year old child with a brief review of literature. This case report illustrates the importance of pathologic examination of similar soft masses, found incidentally during operations.
