Wilms' tumour and renal dysplasia: an hypothesis

AUTOR(ES)

Marsden, HB

RESUMO

The incidence of renal dysplasia in a series of Wilms' tumours is presented. The distribution of such lesions is discussed, together with their course of development and regression. The kidney is regarded as a particularly suitable organ for studying the relation between dysplasia and neoplasia. A schema is suggested for this association with regard to Wilms' tumour.
