View Original Source →Abstract
Three cases of spontaneously healed hypernephroma that were examined by angiography are reported. The regressive changes are described and the differential diagnosis between such changes and those due to a renal cyst are discussed. The question of the possibility of a definite roentgenologic diagnosis of spontaneous healing in hypernephroma is considered.
