  ABSTRACT: Nephroblastoma is one of the most common causes of abdominal-pelvic mass in children. It still raises a diagnostic problem because of the wide variety of causes of abdominal-pelvic mass but also because of the delays in consultation in sub-Saharan black Africa and consequently the discovery of the mass at a very late and sometimes metastatic stage. Yet nephroblastoma is a very chemo-sensitive malignancy requiring diagnosis at an early stage; a procedure in which medical imaging is essential. We report the case of a large abdominal-pelvic mass in a three-year-old girl in whom the abdominal-pelvic CT allowed to diagnose nephroblastoma with liver metastases. Our objective is to demonstrate the contribution of computed tomography in the diagnosis of large abdominal-pelvic mass of the child and discuss other causes of abdominal-pelvic mass of the child.
