The first case of primary Wilms' tumor of the uterus is described. It occurred in a 14-year-old girl. Microscopically, embryonal tubules, glomeruli, and blastema were identified within a myxomatous stroma. No teratomatous elements were found. The tumor arose in the uterus, permeated the endocervical canal, filled the vagina, and infiltrated the Douglas cul-de-sac and the left broad ligament through the posterior vaginal fornix. Comments are made on the histogenesis and histologic pattern of the tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
