Malignant tumors of the kidneys. Kinloch and Drexter (Urol. and cut. review, 1928, No. 1)

Among these tumors, Kinloch and Drexter note four groups: papillary adenocarcinomas, alveolar cancers, hypernephromas, and embryonal adenomyosarcomas. These tumors develop in women four times more often than in men. They metastasize most frequently to the lungs, sternum, long bones, liver, and brain. They usually present with macro- or microscopically detectable hematuria and neuralgic pain, irradiating to the iliopsoas and hypogastrium.
