Wilms tumor
MONDO:0006058An embryonal neoplasm characterized by the presence of epithelial, mesenchymal, and blastema components. The vast majority of cases arise from the kidney. A small number of cases with morphologic features resembling Wilms tumor of the kidney have been reported arising from the ovary and the cervix.
Also known as: Wilms tumor, Wilms' tumor, Wilms' tumour, Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma), Wilms tumour (nephroblastoma)
