  • A significantly increased proportion of CCSKs were positive compared to favourable histology Wilms’ tumours (*p = 0.0206, Fisher’s exact test).

  • WT, Wilms’ tumour; FH, favourable histology; CCSK, clear cell sarcoma of the kidney; MN, mesoblastic nephroma; RTK, rhabdoid tumour of the kidney; PNET, primitive neuroectodermal tumour; RCC, renal cell carcinoma.
