Australas Radiol. 2006 Jun;50(3):246-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1440-1673.2006.01570.x.

Abstract

Lung cancer is not commonly known to metastasize to the perirenal space, with only five such cases previously published. We present an unusual case of perirenal lung metastases manifesting as diffuse perinephric stranding which to our knowledge has not been described before.
