Abstract
Fetal rhabdomyomatous nephroblastoma is a weird variant of Wilms tumor. It’s a chemo-resistant tumor, characterized for invading the collecting system, and having greater rates of bilateral involvement. The tumor chiefly consists of fetal striated muscle with particularly distinct striations and central nuclei, and isolated regions of typical trimorphic nephroblastoma. The following article brings in a new case of this rare pathology, associated with a review of the literature
