Virchows Archiv A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A case of an extrarenal nephroblastoma is reported which was located in the inguinal region. In the surrounding fat tissue normal ectopic glomerular and tubular structures and two more nephroblastomas were found.

This conclusion is important for the diagnosis and therapy.
