ABSTRACT
Bilateral renal enlargement and infiltration at the time of diagnosing acute lymphocytic leukemia’s are very rare. In this article, we report a patient of 11 year old boy who presented with pallor, fatigue; fever and abdominal pain .CT scan showed bilateral enlarged kidneys suggestive of leukemic infiltration. Bone marrow aspiration was performed and pre B ALL was diagnosed.
