| adenomyosarcoma | <oncology, 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.

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.
