Summary. This small series of cases illustrates: 1. The not uncommon occurrence of renal abnormality. 2. The relative frequency with which the abnormal kidney is the seat of a pathological condition. 3. That an abnormal kidney may be mistaken for an abdominal tumour. 4. The value of urological investigation in the presence of any unusual type of tumour discovered on abdominal palpation.
