SUMMARY
A case of interest from two points has been presented. First, it represents the smallest hypernephroma encountered at nephrectomy for cancer in the Toronto General Hospital. Secondly, it is the first hypernephroma which, to our knowledge, has been associated with an elevation of carcinogenic metabolites of tryptophan previously thought to be exclusive with tumours of transitinal‐cell epithelium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
