Abstract:
Bilateral renal enlargement is a very rare manifestation as the primary presenting feature of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. We are reporting an unusual clinical picture of a 9-month-old male patient diagnosed as precusor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, who showed bilateral nephromegaly without any hepatosplenomegaly at the time of initial presentation.
