[Arteriography of renal metastases of bronchial origin : use of angiotensin in one case (author's transl)].

Abstract

A case of renal metastases from epidermoid bronchial cancer, discovered during an attack of hematuria, is reported. The patient had been operated upon for bronchial cancer two years ago and was in good general condition. Au I.V.U. showed the presence of an ill-defined renal mass. Selective renal arteriography demonstrated that the mass was hypervascularized and that a previous injection of angiotensin produced a malignant type of hypervascularization in the mass.
