PULSATING LESIONS METASTATIC FROM RENAL CANCER

摘要

The differential diagnosis of a pulsatile mass found on physical examination should include metastasis from a carcinoma of the kidney. If the mass occurs in the region of the sternum with no abnormality noted in the thyroid gland upon examination, the primary tumor is most frequently in the kidney even though there may be no symptoms referable to the urinary tract.
