Wilms' tumor is childhood’s most common renal tumor, and its presentation in the adult age is extremely rare. It is difficult to differentiate adult Wilms’ tumor from renal cell carcinoma based on radiological findings alone. The diagnosis in adults is often made following nephrectomy for a presumed renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of 28year old female diagnosed as Adult Wilms tumor on the basis of histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Finally, a literature review is performed to assess diagnosis of adult wilms tumor.
