The primary kidney tumours represented approximately 7% of all paediatric malignancies. Nearly 90% of them are Wilms tu¬mors (WT). Most renal tumours present with non–specific features of an abdominal mass, usually detected incidentally by parents or care takers. This was a hospital based 10 year study to analyse the histological spectrum of paediatric renal tumors. Of 184 patients 38 (20.6%) patients belonged to paediatric age group. Histopathologically the patients were diagnosed as WT (n=29; 76.4%), and non–WT (n=9; 23.6%). The most frequently observed symptoms were abdominal mass followed by pain and hematuria.
