===General===
*Common abdominal [[pediatric pathology|pediatric]] tumour.
*May be associated with a syndrome:<ref>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/989398-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/989398-overview]. Accessed on: 9 March 2011.</ref>

**[[Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome]].<ref>{{OMIM|130650}}</ref>
**[[Denys-Drash syndrome]].<ref>{{OMIM|194080}}</ref>
 
===Gross===
*Lobulated tan mass.

===Microscopic===
Features - classically three components (blastema, immature stroma, tubules):<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_254-5>{{Ref PCPBoD8|254-5}}</ref>
#Malignant [[Small round blue cell tumours|small round blue cells]] ("blastema"):
#*Size = ~ 2x RBC diameter.
#*Nuclear pleomorphism (variation of size, shape and staining).
#**Irregular nuclear membrane - '''important'''.
#*Scant/difficult to discern cytoplasm - basophilic (light blue).
#*Mitoses - common.
#Stroma ("immature stroma"):
#*Spindle cells:
#**Elliptical nuclear membrane.
#**Abundant loose cytoplasm.
#Tubular structures ("tubules"):
#*Usually clustered.
#*Vaguely resemble a glomerulus.
#*Usu. have a central (clear/white) space surrounded by a rim of intensely eosinophilic cytoplasm.
#*Nuclei of tubular structures often elongated and palisaded.
 
Other findings:
*Commonly seen in association with ''nephrogenic rests''.
**Cluster of cells small (blue) cells; lack nuclear atypia seen in Wilms tumour.<ref>URL: [http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970416-8 http://www.pathconsultddx.com/pathCon/diagnosis?pii=S1559-8675%2806%2970416-8]. Accessed on: 28 March 2011.</ref>
*+/-Heterologous elements (skeletal muscle, smooth muscle adipose tissue, cartilage).<ref name=Ref_WMSP282>{{Ref WMSP|282}}</ref>
**Heterologous = doesn't normally belong there.<ref>URL: [http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Heterologous http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Heterologous]. Accessed on: 1 October 2011.</ref>
 
DDx:
*[[Metanephric adenoma]].
*Nephrogenic nests.
*Other [[small round cell tumours]].
*[[Synovial sarcoma]], biphasic - especially in adults.
 
Notes:
*Palisade = fence made of stakes driven into the ground.<ref>URL: [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/palisaded http://www.thefreedictionary.com/palisaded]. Accessed on: 2 February 2011.</ref>
*Approximately 30-40% Wilms tumour cases have nephrogenic rests.<ref name=pmid8047084>{{cite journal |author=Coppes MJ, Haber DA, Grundy PE |title=Genetic events in the development of Wilms' tumor |journal=N.
