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.

โฆ Synopsis
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 histologically renal cell carcinoma with no identifiable Wilms' tumor elements. The child died with recurrent and metastatic tumor 13 months after nephrectomy. Pathologic, immunoperoxidase, and flow cytometric studies of this unusual case are presented.

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
This report defines the incidence and determines the etiology of renal failure (RF) in patients undergoing treatment for Wilms' tumor (W). The database of the National Wilms' Tumor Study (NWS) was searched to identify all children reported to have developed chronic renal failure. There were 55 patie
## BACKGROUND. Nephron-sparing surgery for incidentally detected small renal tumors has been performed. The main objection to such surgery concerns the incidence rate of satellite renal tumors. In this study, the authors analyzed the rate of incidence and proliferative potential of satellite renal
