title: Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors of the kidney discovered incidentally at autopsy.
abstract: Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors (MEST) of the kidney are uncommon neoplasms that were added to the World Health Organization's renal tumor classification in 2004. These entities are biphasic and contain both epithelial and mesenchymal components. MEST most commonly occur in women. Presented are two cases of MEST incidentally discovered at autopsy.
