Plain-English summary
A 3-month-old female golden retriever was diagnosed with a kidney tumor called nephroblastoma. The veterinarian performed surgery to remove the affected kidney, and the dog has been healthy and disease-free for 19 months since the operation. This case highlights the potential for successful treatment of this rare condition with surgery alone.

Abstract
Nephrectomy was performed in a 3-month-old intact female golden retriever dog for a renal nephroblastoma. The dog has remained disease-free for 19 months with nephrectomy alone. The adoption of human Wilms' tumor grading criteria may be useful in determining clinical stage, adjuvant treatment options, and prognosis in this rare disease.
