[The nature of the metastasis in different histological forms of kidney cancer].
As many as 51 autopsy cards were analysed of those having died of carcinoma of the kidney over the period of 1970 to 1992. Lung and lymph gland metastases were found to be the most common among different histological forms of carcinoma of the kidney, such as clear cell carcinoma, mixed-, granular-, spindle-cell variants of renal cell and transitional cell carcinomas. In most cases they were of multiple type and were associated with metastases spreading to other organs. It was only carcinoma glandulare of hypernephroma and squamous cell carcinoma that presented with no lung metastases, which fact may be taken into consideration in the diagnosis and prognostication of the medical condition in question.
