In 36 of 99 consecutive patients operated on for the presumptive diagnosis of renal carcinoma the tumour was discovered accidentally during investigations for a variety of complaints. CT and ultrasound scans were responsible for discovery of the tumour in 24 of the 36 patients. Renal carcinoma accounted for 92% of incidentally discovered solid renal masses. Of 33 incidentally diagnosed renal carcinomas 27 were stage 1. An incidentally discovered solid renal mass should be regarded as a low stage renal carcinoma until proven otherwise.
在99例因疑似肾癌而接受手术的连续病例中，有36例患者是在因各种不适症状进行检查时意外发现肿瘤的。在这36例患者中，有24例是通过CT和超声扫描发现肿瘤的。肾癌占偶然发现的实性肾肿块的92%。在33例偶然诊断出的肾癌中，27例为1期。在未得到其他证实之前，偶然发现的实性肾肿块应被视为低分期肾癌。
