Two cases of acute monarthritis secondary to asymptomatic renal cell carcinoma are described. This association has not previously been reported. The patients were initially thought to have a septic arthritis, but hot spots were seen on isotope bone scans and biopsy samples showed secondary neoplasms, which were later confirmed to be a result of renal cell carcinomas. The value of cytological examination of synovial fluid when there is clinical doubt as to the cause of a joint effusion is shown.
本文描述了两例继发于无症状肾细胞癌的急性单关节炎病例。此前尚未有过这种关联的报道。患者最初被认为患有化脓性关节炎,但同位素骨扫描发现有热点,活检样本显示为继发性肿瘤,后来证实是肾细胞癌所致。本文展示了在临床上对关节积液病因存疑时,滑膜液细胞学检查的价值。
