Nephroblastoma or Wilms tumor is a malignant tumor that develops at the expense of embryonic kidney tissue. It is the most common kidney tumor in children (> 90%); it represents around 5% to 14% of all childhood cancers. The aim of our work is to recall the contribution of imaging, in particular CT, in the management of this renal tumor. This is a retrospective, single-center study of 136 cases of Wilms tumors diagnosed in our clinic over a 2-year period. The mean age of the patients was 04 years with an extreme of (3 months -12 years) with a female prevalence (8 girls for 5 boys). Abdominal mass dominated in our study in clinical information. Histological confirmation was found in 12 cases, the only non-conforming case was lost to follow-up.
