[Solid tumors of the renal parenchyma in the adult. Does the absence of symptoms modify the prognosis?].
Of 220 solid tumors of renal parenchyma reviewed, 26% (57 tumors) were asymptomatic and discovered by chance, either by radiology (45.5%), ultrasound (21%), biology (16%), clinical (10.5%) or histopathology examination (7%). The asymptomatic tumors were benign in 20% of cases whereas this was the case with only 3% of symptomatic tumors. For a given age, asymptomatic malignant tumors were in a less advanced stage than symptomatic tumors. These findings suggest the need for routine investigation for renal tumor syndromes. Whenever possible and whatever the indication for an examination.
