[Calcified renal carcinoma. Diagnostic difficulty].
Two cases of renal carcinoma presenting as renal cyst seen at our service in the past year are described. One presented as a large central cyst with several smaller cysts on its wall. The other presented as a renal cyst coexisting with several serous cysts. Imaging techniques are underscored due to the diagnostic difficulties. The currently available diagnostic techniques for classifying tumor masses with mixed or undefined features are briefly described.
