title: [Wilms' tumors, 12 case reports].
abstract: The treatment of Wilms' tumor has shown a great success in the pediatric oncology. Our study, which includes 12 cases of nephroblastoma, between 1979 and 1987, has confirmed this results. This tumor that shows no sex prevalence, occurs in a mean age of 2.5 years. The volume of the mass is the most presenting sign in 75% of the cases, I.V.P. confirm the diagnosis in 90% of the cases. Remission occurred in 5 infants who have been in stage I, the other cases who are in stage II to V have bad prognosis. In the future, we hope more advancement in the cure of Wilms tumor, and all the remaining questions will find their answer.
