title: [Two cases of renal cancer detected by ultrasonic scan during mass screening and subsequent MRI].
abstract: Reported herein are the cases of two woman, aged 47 and 69, respectively, who were each found to have a right renal carcinoma, both carcinomas discovered incidentally by an abdominal ultrasonic scan during a mass screening, with no other signs or symptoms of renal cancer being indicated. Following clinical diagnostic verification, using X-ray CT, and an MRI, radical nephrectomies were performed. In each instance, the pathohistological diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma, pT2N0M0V0. The clinical imagings, including the MRI, are presented, and the diagnostic techniques used in this imaging and the screening modality in cases of asymptomatic renal cancer are discussed.
