병리학을 공부하고 있습니다. 수업시간에 wilms tumor (wilms' tumor)를 배웠는데 wilm's tumor와 다르니 주의하라고
들었습니다. 근데 여기에 있는 검색엔진으로 찾아보니.. 거의 비슷한것 같은데..
둘다 소아에서 일어나는 nephroblastoma 같은데.. 뭐가 다는거죠??

Wilm's tumour:
Wilm's tumour or nephroblastoma, is a cancerous tumour of the kidney in children.
Wilm's is the most common tumour of the kidney and the most common intra-abdominal tumour in children. The exact cause is unknown, but probably develops in foetal tissue due to an underlying genetic factor. Like retinoblastoma, both sporadic and inherited forms occur.
Believed to be caused by development of homozygosity for a deletion of the tip of the short arm of chromosome 11, which is presumed to contain a tumour suppressor gene.
