Description
Summary:Fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma (FRN) is a rare variant of Wilms tumor with distinct morphologic features and biologic behavior compared to conventional nephroblastoma. It mainly occurs in patients under 4 years. In adults, extremely rare cases of nephroblastoma were reported. Among these cases, none has been interested a FRN. We report an exceptional case of a 31-year-old woman diagnosed with FRN discovered incidentally, to illustrate clinical and histopathological characteristics of this entity.
