Nephroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasm derived from nephrogenic blastemal cells primarily occurring in children who are younger than 6 years. |
|
The blastemal cells are derived locally from the mesenchymal tissues of the stump, close to the site of amputation. |
|
Other morphology that this tumor may exhibit would be a predominantly papillary, microcystic, or blastemal growth pattern. |
|
The result is a movement of the transfected blastemal cells to more proximal regions in the intercalating regenerate. |
|
The smears were moderately cellular and included an admixture of the characteristic small ovoid blastemal elements and scattered spindled mesenchymal tumor cells. |
|
High power of the edge of the tumour shows osteoid with osteoblasts on the left and mitotically active blastemal cells at the centre. |
|
Pathologically, Classical Wilms' tumour has triphasic histology, with components of blastemal, epithelial, and stromal structures, as found in our case. |
