Abstract
The extrarenal manifestations of hypernephroma in 34 medical patients are described, and the literature is reviewed. The overall incidence of systemic features was greater and included anemia, eosinophilia, a leukemoid reaction and thrombocytosis. Polycythemia, amyloidosis and hyponatremia were not encountered. Calcium is visible radiologically in the tumor in five cases. The diagnosis was not made in 19 and was an unexpected finding at autopsy in 10. Appreciation of the extrarenal manifestations of hypernephroma might lead to earlier diagnosis.
