A diligent search of the literature has failed to reveal the association of renal and adrenal cortical carcinoma. A case with such association is presented. In addition, the patient exhibited a mild deficiency of Stuart factor (Factor X), which disappeared after removal of the tumors.CASE REPORTMrs. V. H., a 54-year-old white woman, was first seen because of microscopic hematuria and pyuria detected in a routine urinalysis during the course of an upper respiratory infection. The patient had been treated for duodenal ulcer 2 years previously. There had been loss...References1.
