    Abstract:
    150 patients dying from renal cell carcinoma are studied in order to reveal the background disease, incidence and character of the nephrosclerosis and the possible morphogenetic link between nephrosclerosis and carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma is found to develop in 82.7% of cases in the kidneys with signs of nephrosclerosis. The diffuse nephrosclerosis developing in connection with the hypertension disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, chronic pyelonephritis, nephrolithiasis is the most important. Proliferation of the canaliculi epithelium with the appearance of undifferentiated cells are regularly found in the nephrosclerotic areas. The disturbance of the epithelium differentiation is followed by the development of dysplasia the phenotypical variants of which are similar to those of renal cell carcinoma. Adenomas are found in 11.3% of cases of renal cell carcinoma which may originate from the adenomas developing against the background of nephrosclerosis.
