[Giant aneurysm of the renal artery. Case report].
A case of a giant aneurysm of the right renal artery is described. A female patient, 65 years old, normotensive, affected by a great aneurysm of 7 cm per 6 cm, localized in the renal ilus and determining a chronical pyeloneprosis is observed. She was operated on for nephrectomy because the aneurysm and the kidney were strictly closed. The patient recovered her health. The current status of the art is then analysed.
