Abstract
A case of an asymptomatic primary renal carcinoid tumor in a 61-year-old male is presented. The tumor was large with extensive hemorrhagic necrosis. Metastases were present in para-aortic lymph nodes. Ultrastructurally, dense core granules and masses of cytoplasmic filaments, including tonofilaments, were seen. The granules were faintly argyrophilic. The relevant literature is reviewed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
