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

β¦ Synopsis
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
In the present study the prognostic value of tumor S-phase fraction was evaluated in 69 patients with renal-cell carcinoma. The proportion of S-phase cells was calculated from DNA histograms by flow cytometry in multiple samples from each tumor. The mean tumor S-phase percentage varied between 1.0 a
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
