- Abstract: A case of Wilms' tumor in a 67 year-old female is presented. The tumor totally replaced the left kidney with extension to Gerota's fascia, the adrenal gland and ureter, with tumor thrombi in the left renal vein. Multiple bony metastases to the skull, shoulder, rib, ilium, acetabulum and femur were noted also. Microscopically, the tumor was composed predominantly of blastemal tissue with diffuse anaplasia with areas of tubular differentiation and chondroid elements. Clear cell nests were found in the proximal ureter with gradual maturation downward.
