Hypernephroma and Spindle-cell Sarcoma of the Kidney
نویسنده
چکیده
There has been continued interest in the nature of tumours arising in the kidney and suprarenal glands since Grawitz in 1883 described renal tumours arising from suprarenal rests, which he called hypernephroma. Others have described tumours varying from the hypernephroma type in cell structure, while yet maintaining in part the character of the true Grawitz tumour. The case which is presented here falls into this category. Because of its characters, it may be described as hypernephroma and spindle-cell sarcoma of the kidney, with sarcomatous and mesotheliomatous metastases.
