    Abstract:
    A series of 60 cases of nephroblastoma treated at the Abidjan University Hospital from 1971 to 1981 were reported. Nephroblastoma is a frequent childhood tumour representing 26.40% of malignant childhood tumours. It is a tumour of the young child. There is no sex predominance and both sides are equally involved. The tumour is the only clinical manifestation and is always palapable. Factors of poor prognosis were often observed in our patients including: age less than 2 years with major tumour volume (56.6%), advanced stage (89.3%). Antimitotic treatment was used in all cases and in 16 surgery was required. The poor prognosis criteria observed in this series explain the poor outcome in most of the cases.
