title: Renal enlargement as primary presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
abstract: Renal enlargement in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is well reported in literature from Western Countries. However there are very few reports from developing countries. Bilateral symmetrical enlargement of kidneys as a primary presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is rare. We report a child who had acute lymphoblastic leukaemia presenting with bilateral renal mass.
