Diseased fish externally displayed swelling of the region of posterior kidney and the atrophic body. The posterior kidneys included neoplasm and were markedly swollen from 7 to 30 times as large as a normal kidney, and tumor nodules pressed the normal tissues of kidney. Epithelial cells, messenchymal spindle cells,smooth muscle cells,striated muscle cells,hyaline cartilage cells,fibrocytes and collagenous fibrous tissue were found as components of the neoplasm, Tumors were classified according to elements into adenosarcoma, adeno-spindle-cell sarcoma, adeno-striated muscle-cell sarcoma, and mixed types.These histopathological features indicated that renal tumors were nephroblastoma(Wilms tumor).In some diseased fish, renal tumor cells metastasized into livers.}, pages = {21--32}, title = {A Histopathological Study on Nephroblastomas of the Japanese Eel}, volume = {14}, year = {1987} }
