Report of a rare testicular teratoid Wilms Tumor in an adult patient
Although primarily a pediatric disease, nephroblastomas (also known as Wilms tumor) occur in adults at a rate of less than 0.2 cases per million per year. Rarer still are teratoid Wilms tumors, which arise from teratomas and therefore can be extrarenal. We describe the sixth recorded case of a testi...

| description | Although primarily a pediatric disease, nephroblastomas (also known as Wilms tumor) occur in adults at a rate of less than 0.2 cases per million per year. Rarer still are teratoid Wilms tumors, which arise from teratomas and therefore can be extrarenal. We describe the sixth recorded case of a testicular teratoid Wilms tumor in an adult patient with accompanying histological images of the specimen. Following the case, there is a brief discussion of the current literature. |
