background: wilms' tumor is an emberyonal tumor arising from remnants of immature renal tissue. her2/neu is an onco-protein which mediates cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival. methods: in the current study, we analyzed her2/neu expression in 40 wilms' tumors. the clinico-demographic data of 40 patients with wilms' tumor were retrieved. immunohistochemical staining for her2/neu ...

Nephroblastoma or Wilms tumor is a malignant that develops at the expense of embryonic kidney tissue. It most common in children (> 90%); it represents around 5% to 14% all childhood cancers. The aim our work recall contribution imaging, particular CT, management this renal tumor.

A survey of bone metastases in 132 children presenting with renal tumours has been carried out using material from the Manchester (England) Children's Tumour Registry during the period 1954 to 1976. Seven such cases were found. Only one of the 117 Wilms' tumours developed bone metastases. The remainder included carcinoma (1/4), 'bone metastasising renal tumour of childhood' (2/3), atypical tumo...

We present a case of retroperitoneal teratoma in a 4-year-old girl in which a Wilms' tumor-like element was predominant, unlike the usual pattern of the immature or malignant teratoma. Mature elements were composed of adipose tissue, neural plexus and ganglia, cartilage, smooth and skeletal muscles, and glandular epithelium of the respiratory and gastrointestinal types. Three months after compl...
