Body was changed:

Young boy with a left sided Wilms tumour. The important finding which strongly points to the kidney as the site of origin of the mass is the so called claw sign; the renal parenchyma seems to embrace the mass, with sharp acute angles. An extra-renal mass would have obtuse angles.
