Hypernephroma Metastases in the Ear and Nose Region

Abstract

The author describes two cases of metastasis from a renal carcinoma to the flat bones of the skull and to the nasal sinuses respectively. A short account is given of the histologic picture of the primary tumour, followed by a discussion of the significance of this for prognosis and therapy. The more adequate term “renal carcinoma” should be substituted for the old concept of hypernephroma.
