    Journal: Tokai J Exp Clin Med; 1982 Nov; 7(6):685-90. PubMed ID: 6764052.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-five (1.1%) out of a total of 3,133 autopsied cases of renal tumors were complicated by renal malignant tumors and cystic renal disease. They accounted for 1.4% of 2,417 cases of renal malignant tumors and for 4.7% of 751 cases of cystic renal disease. Among the 35 complicated cases, 10 cases or 28.6% were free of metastasis. The incidence of complicated cases and those without metastasis aged over 60 years or over was 12.2% and 29.2% respectively, while the 10-59 year-old age group displayed a lower incidence of 3.6% and the same incidence of 27.3% respectively. In 26 out of 35 cases the malignant tumors was renal adenocarcinoma with no evidence of metastasis in nine cases (34.6%). Although it is unknown whether cystic renal disease undergoes malignant changes, not all of the patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis should be indicated for nephrectomies since such patients with renal malignancies are mostly elderly and are frequently free from metastases.
