For this purpose 30 cases were selected having palpable abdominal masses in different sites, age ranging from 6 months to 12 years. The results suggested that the predominance of male over female in the ratio of 3:2. In this study confirms that Wilm’s tumor accounted for 30.00%. In this study the sensitivity of ultrasonogram is 96.30% and the specificity is 60.00%. The positive predictive value is 92.86% and negative predictive value is 75.00% and the overall diagnostic accuracy of this series is 90.62%. In this study false positive rate of ultrasonogram diagnosis is 6.66% and false negative rate of ultrasonogram di”
