Abstract

In renal cell carcinoma, bone can originate th rough two dif ferent processes: osseous differentiation or osseous metaplasia. The case w e report here represents the second process. We discuss pathological differ ential diagnosis and prognosis of the infrequent tumor. Copyright (C) 2001 S. Karger AG, Basel.
