Embryonal adenosarcom which is called as embryonal mixed tumor of kidney, Wilms's tumor etc. was first reported by Eberth in 1872. Reports on this tumor were published, thereafter, by Birsch-Hirschf eld, Lubarsch and numerous other investigators. Its occurrence in Japan, however, has been quite rare.
