title: Mucin-secreting Wilms' tumor. Report of two cases.
abstract: Two children, ages 7 years and 14 months, with mucin-secreting Wilms' tumor were treated at the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital in 1987. In both cases, examination of peripheral blood films disclosed the characteristic appearance of circulating mucin. In each case the blood film appearances returned to normal following nephrectomy. Both patients are in good health and apparently tumor free at 16 and 18 months follow-up.
