The concurrence of ambiguous genitalia, nephropathy and predisposition to Wilms' tumor are characteristics of Denys-Drash syndrome. Some of the reported patients do not express the full spectrum of the syndrome, while the occurrence of nephropathy has become a generally accepted common feature of this syndrome. We report an infant with male pseudohermaphroditism due to partial gonadal dysgenesis and nephropathy without Wilms' tumor but with a Wilms' tumor suppressor gene (WT1) mutation. The high risk of Wilms' tumor mandates regular surveillance and the use of prophylactic bilateral nephrectomy as a treatment is not yet clear.
