Abdom Imaging. 2003 May-Jun;28(3):440-3. doi: 10.1007/s00261-002-0044-0.

Abstract

Teratoid Wilms tumor is defined as an unusual variant of nephroblastoma, in which there is a significant diversity of cell types and tissues in a neoplasm, where areas of classic nephroblastoma tissue are also present. We report a case of teratoid Wilms tumor demonstrated as a unilateral cystic and solid renal mass containing fatty tissue on ultrasonography and computed tomography.
