Wilms' tumor is found in the kidney area and is the most common early childhood cancer. The infant will have an abdominal mass located on one side of the midline, abdominal pain, malaise, anemia, and fever. If a mass is felt in the abdomen, palpation should be stopped immediately, as cells can be dislodged, spreading the tumor. Surgery and chemotherapy are required.
