A 19-month-old black girl had a radical nephrectomy for a Wilms' tumor that contained areas of epithelium indistinguishable from renal cell carcinoma. She was treated with chemotherapy but subsequently had pulmonary metastases develop and massive abdominal recurrence. The recurrent tumor was histolo

A patient with a malignant retroperitoneal teratoma that contained Wilms' tumor and renal cell carcinoma is described. The rarity of renal tissue in teratoma, and the possible mode of development of Wilms' tumor and renal cell carcinoma in such a tumor are discussed.
The expression of the Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 is largely restricted to elements of the developing urogenital system. In the fetal kidney, WT1 transcripts are present at low levels in the condensing mesenchyme and at much higher levels in differentiating glomerular epithelium and are not dete
