A case of marked regression of bilateral pulmonry metastases is presented. The pulmonary metastases were confirmed histologically by ultrathin needle aspiration cytology before radical nephrectomy. Demonstrable regression was noticed 2 months after hormonal therapy with medroxyprogeaterone acetate following nephrectomy. Attention is drawn to the use of hormonal therapy in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma.
