Abstract
A case of spontaneous regression of pulmonary métastasés from renal cell carcinoma after nephrectomy is presented. In a 57-year-old Japanese male who had already had pulmonary métastasés at the time of nephrectomy, the metastatic lesions disappeared without adjuvant therapy 8 years after nephrectomy. He is still surviving without recurrence or any signs indicative of new metastasis at the present. The clinical aspects of this interesting phenomenon are discussed briefly.Keywords
