A unique ultrastructural variant of Wilms' tumor. Its possible histogenetic implications
Abstract:
A report of a Wilms' tumor with hitherto undescribed ultrastructural and histochemical features is presented. The unique features conform structurally, and to some extent chemically to autophagosomes, which occur in similar abundance only in granular cell myoblastoma, recently considered to be derived from neural elements. The implication of this common structural feature readdresses attention to the work of Masson, who originally theorized a neurectodermal origin for the Wilms' tumor.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
