Abstract
Analysis of data from 1434 children with primary renal tumours revealed 57 who developed bone metastases. Of these, 54 were initially recorded as nephroblastoma. Fifty-two of the 57 cases were reviewed histologically, and only 18 were found to be Wilms' tumours. Twenty-three were classified as "Bone-Metastasizing Renal Tumour of Childhood" (BMRTC), and a high male incidence was found for these tumours (M:F=6.7:1). Differences in the pattern of metastasis and the one-year survival between BMRTC and nephroblastoma are discussed. The rarity of bone metastases from true Wilms' tumours is emphasized.
