The first case of primary Wilms' tumor of the uterus is described. It occurred in a 14‐year‐old girl. Microscopically, embryonal tubules, glomeruli, and blastema were identified within a myxomatous stroma. No teratomatous elements were found. The tumor arose in the uterus, permeated the endo‐cervical canal, filled the vagina, and infiltrated the Douglas cul‐de‐sac and the left broad ligament through the posterior vaginal fornix. Comments are made on the histogenesis and histologic pattern of the tumor.
