Abstract

The authors report bilateral secondary tumors of the kidney in two patients: one previously treated for an epidermoid tumor, the other for an anaplastic bronchial tumor. In both patients, clinical and radiological features were those of a malignant process. Scan-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration provided the material necessary to make a definitive cytological diagnosis; it was thus possible to assess the malignancy and recognize the histological type of lesions.
