Two patients with tumors of renal origin were accidentally exposed to shock waves and underwent surgery with subsequent histopathologic evaluation. A 27-year-old woman developed an intrarenal hematoma following EPL; nephrectomy was performed and histologic diagnosis was clear cell sarcoma of the kidney. A 66-year-old man with history of left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma underwent ESWL for what was thought to be a radiolucent stone of the right lumbar ureter: subsequent surgery revealed a solitary metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. Both tumors presented vasodilation, focal hemorrhages and neutrophilic migration: these histopathological effects are similar to those observed in nude mice xenografts of human renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Two patients with tumors of renal origin were accidentally exposed to shock waves and underwent surgery with subsequent histopathologic evaluation. A 27-year-old woman developed an intrarenal hematoma following EPL; nephrectomy was performed and histologic diagnosis was clear cell sarcoma of the kidney. A 66-year-old man with history of left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma underwent ESWL for what was thought to be a radiolucent stone of the right lumbar ureter: subsequent surgery revealed a solitary metastasis of renal cell carcinoma. Both tumors presented vasodilation, focal hemorrhages and neutrophilic migration: these histopathological effects are similar to those observed in nude mice xenografts of human renal cell carcinoma.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
