title: Historical aspects of the identification of the entity Wilms tumor, and its management.
abstract: Each era with its own ideas and contributions will be evaluated at some point by future generations. The main objective of this historical overview of Wilms tumor has been to document some of the accomplishments made in the past two centuries. Knowing from where researchers, investigators, physicians, and other caregivers in this field have come will undoubtedly help to place today's achievements as mere markers between the past and the future.
