[Metastasising carcinoma of the renal pelvis after Thorotrast pyelography]. 1975

K Tschubel, and B Helpap, and I Boldt, and P Bastian

A carcinoma of the renal pelvis was diagnosed in a female patient 42 years after a retrograde Thorotrast pyelogram. The patient died as a result of the carcinoma at the age of 60. The literature is reviewed. As a result of this case, the need is stressed for early recognition of Thorotrast depositis in the kidney. In this case it was demonstrated by autoradiography. Appropriate treatment is discussed.
