In children, nephroepithelioma represent less than 10% of the malignant tumors of the kidney. Reporting 3 cases, the authors emphasize that the clinical expression of nephroepithelioma, often made only of recurrent hematuria occuring over years, may mislead adequate diagnostic approach. Thus, a kidney arteriogram should be included in the investigations of nephroepithelioma. Earlier diagnosis may improve the rate of recovery from nephroepithelioma which, in children, is about 30%.
