Bilateral concurrent renal neoplasms: report of eleven cases

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1979 Jan;132(1):37-42. doi: 10.2214/ajr.132.1.37.

Abstract

Eleven patients with concurrent bilateral renal neoplasms are presented, including one case with dissimilar tumor histogenesis. In four cases urography showed only unilateral expansive lesions. The importance of high-dose nephrotomography and bilateral selective renal angiography is stressed. Literature review revealed 57 patients with concurrent bilateral renal cell carcinoma, indicating that this entity may be more frequent than previously believed.
