Synchronous bilateral Wilms' tumor in a neonate.
OBJECTIVE
Wilms' tumor is the most common solid abdominal tumor of childhood. Wilms' tumor is extremely rare in the neonate, with less than 20 well-documented cases. No bilateral lesions in neonates have been described in the literature.


METHODS
We report on a neonate who presented with synchronous bilateral Wilms' tumors.


RESULTS
Child underwent bilateral partial nephrectomy, followed by standard chemotherapy, and is now well 2 years after completion of the therapy without any evidence for recurrent disease.


CONCLUSIONS
Wilms' tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of the solid renal mass in the neonate.
