Abstract

A case of a nephroblastoma harbouring numerous endocrine cells is reported. Endocrine cells were immuno-characterized as serotonin and somatostatin cells. In addition, a small group of pigmented cells, probably melanin-containing, was observed. This tumor could belong to the teratoid variety of nephroblastoma.
