Intraglomerular metastases. A possibly maldiagnosed entity

Zentralbl Pathol. 1991;137(1):90-2.

Abstract

Intraglomerular metastases are rare. We observed a case of lung cancer which gave rise to liver metastases and to exclusively intraglomerular kidney metastases, mimicking angio-endotheliomatosis. Differential diagnosis and histological features of the lesion are discussed.
