Bilateral renal cell carcinoma.
Renal carcinoma is frequently detected incidentally during abdominal ultrasound studies or computed tomographic scanning. Although clinical studies report bilateral tumors in fewer than 4 percent of patients with renal carcinoma, an autopsy study has shown a much higher incidence. Various surgical approaches are available.
