We have investigated 28 cases of Wilms tumor, two Wilms tumor metastases on lungs and one case of normal renal tissue. Correlation of semiquantitatively scored cyclin E levels with histopathological parameters was performed for all cases. Our findings suggest that diffuse expression of cyclin E is associated with the prognostic group and tumor stage. Also, cyclin E expression is more pronounced in the blastemal component than in the epithelial component. Diffuse expression of cyclin E is associated with an unfavourable outcome of Wilms tumor.
