Secondary renal neoplasms

Incidental neoplasms in renal biopsies.

BACKGROUND Incidental neoplastic lesions are occasionally found in renal biopsy specimens, but there is no evidence to indicate how they should be managed. METHODS A retrospective review was made of the management and clinical course of patients in whom an unsuspected neoplasm had been found in a renal biopsy. RESULTS In 11 880 biopsies taken over 22 years, there were incidental neoplasms i...

With the exception of lymphoma involving the spleen, other primary and secondary neoplasms are rare and infrequently encountered. Primary malignant neoplasms involving the spleen are lymphoma and angiosarcoma. Primary benign neoplasms involving the spleen include hemangioma, lymphangioma, littoral cell angioma and splenic cyst and solid lesions such as hamartoma and inflammatory pseudotumor.

[Secondary neoplasms of the thyroid gland].

SECONDARY neoplasm of the thyroid gland is uncommon, but perusal of the literature reveals a higher incidence than might be generally assumed. Muller (i892) reported the incidence of macroscopic metastatic carcinoma of the thyroid as 1.5%11 in all cases of carcinoma, regardless of primary site. The incidence in cases of sarcoma was 3.i%. Kitain (I922) recorded the incidence in regard to carcino...

Renal Cortical Neoplasms and Associated Renal Functional Outcomes

Renal cystic diseases and renal neoplasms: a mini-review.

The past two decades have witnessed recognition of several new types of renal cell carcinoma, each with distinct cytogenetic abnormalities. Included are several genetic and acquired cystic kidney diseases associated with development of renal cell carcinoma, the topic of this review. The risk in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is not accurately known but may be slightl...
