Notes of a Case of Carcinoma of Supra-Renal Capsules and Lungs; Kidneys Freely Movable

Adenomatoid tumor of supra-renal gland.

Adenomatoid tumors of adrenal gland are rare, asymptomatic neoplasias, with benign behavior, and usually are diagnosed incidentally. We report a case of a voluminous adenomatoid tumor of left adrenal gland in a 42-year old man who sought evaluation because of renal colic due to left nephrolithiasis.

Metastasis of renal sarcoma.

Data from 27 autopsy cases of renal sarcoma were investigated concerning the mode of metastases. The incidence was 1% in 2,651 cases of new growths of the kidney. Histologically nine were leiomyosarcoma, and five each were rhabdomyosarcoma and fibrosarcoma. The lungs, lymph nodes and liver were the most frequent sites of metastases. No significant differences in metastatic sites were noted amon...
