Abstract:
Of 204 renal adenocarcinomas seen in the Urology Service at the Hospital "12 de Octubre", from January 1974 to December 1992, we found five cases (2.5%) of cystic renal carcinoma in patients with an average age of 51.8 years (range 35-69), with a female vs male ratio of 3:2, and a right-sided vs left sided ratio of 4:1. The article describes the signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods used, treatment and subsequent evolution of our series, and includes a revision of the published literature.
