Abstract:
The case of a 70-year old male in whom imaging studies revealed two separate tumors in the left kidney is presented. In the surgical nephrectomy material two tumors were seen, 4.5 and 4 cm in diameter; one of them was a clear cell carcinoma, and the other--a papillary carcinoma, respectively. In addition, a small, subcapsular nodule was detected, which was classified as an adrenal rest. According to current opinions, the above lesions have different pathogenesis and their coexistence may be regarded as accidental.
