title: Ultrastructural study of foetal and adult mouse renal tissue implanted in testis.
abstract: Kidneys of mice foetuses 15, 17, 19 days old, as well as kidneys of mice 1 and 4 weeks old of the pure C3H/SY species, were implanted into the right testis of 40 adult mice 1.5 to 2 months old, of the same species. The animals were sacrificed after 30 and 60 days and the evolution and development of the renal implants within the testis ware studied. The findings in the light as well as in the electron microscope, showed that the renal implants presented the histologic characters of nephroblastoma, which became clearer the more prolonged the time of the implantation was.
