Coexistence of Renal Neoplasms and Renal Cysts

Authors: WILLIAM BRANNAN M.D., WILLIAM MILLER M.D., MORRIS CRISLER M.D.

Abstract

The authors, by their clinical material, show that the differentiation between neoplasm and cyst may be uncertain. Their case reports point to malignant disease even if a cystic lesion seems certain, and that a new growth may accompany a cyst. They believe, unless clear-cut contraindications exist, that surgical exploration provides the only safe method of differential diagnosis.
