title: [Cytogenetic investigation of kidney tumors. A supplement to conventional diagnosis].
abstract: Cytogenetic investigation in renal cell tumours may supplement morphological and immunohistological investigation. Cytogenetic aberrations may be an adjuvant in several situations: 1. For distinction between renal cell adenoma (RCA) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). 2. For identification of specific genetic diseases with an increased incidence of RCC. 3. As support for a diagnosis of Wilms Tumour (WT) in children and for identification of genetic diseases with a higher incidence of WT. 4. As a possible aid in the distinction of RCA and RCC from rare kidney tumours.
