This report concerns observations on two unrelated children originally evaluated because of sexual ambiguity. One was reared as a male, the other as a female. The first was buccal smear negative and had a unilateral intra-abdominal testis. The second had negative buccal smear, 46,XY peripheral leukocyte karyotype, and bilateral intra-abdominal testes. Their clinical courses were similar. Hypertension and proteinuria were detected early in life. Death resulted eventually from progressive renal failure in each child. A unilateral Wilms' tumor was discovered early in the course of observation of one child and as an incidental postmortem finding in the other. Deterioration in renal function was not related to the presence of the tumor. This constellation of findings, reported only once previously, probably represents an intrauterine alteration of cellular differentiation, affecting renal, gonadal, and other internal and external sexual structures.
