Spontaneous gas formation in a sterile renal cell carcinoma

Sterile gas formation is a common sequela of therapeutic transcatheter embolization of tumors. We report a patient who spontaneously developed gas collections within an uninfected renal cell carcinoma with a computed tomographic appearance very similar to that seen following embolization. Possible m...
