Two patients with Wilms tumor are presented. One patient had a bilateral Wilms tumor with invasion of the right renal pelvis and proximal ureter. A second patient presented with a large Wilms tumor originating separate from and inferior to the left kidney. The histologic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications of these radiographic presentations are explored.

Tests for delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity were carried out with Candida and streptokinase-streptodornase antigens in 245 normal pediatric subjects, ranging in age from 17 days to 5 10/12 years. The group comprised patients with a variety of acute illnesses and a series of control subjects. There was a progressive increase in the frequency of cutaneous responses with age. About one-third of infants under one year and four-fifths of one to five-year-old children had positive induration reactions to at least one antigen. Candida was the more reactive antigen in the first year of life; thereafter there was comparable responsiveness to both antigens. Our results showed no difference in percent reactivity between acutely ill and control subjects.

Hypoplastic kidney with an ectopic ureter can produce urinary incontinence with its known psychologic disturbances. By diligent urologic workup, the diagnosis may be made preoperatively and appropriate surgical correction undertaken.
