Overview
Common physical examination findings of renal cell carcinoma include low body mass index, high blood pressure, palpation of abdominal mass, auscultation of abdominal bruit, varicocele, muscle atrophy, skin pallor, facial flushing, and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.
Physical Examination
Physical examination findings are generally not revealing. Physical exam findings are not specific. A full physical exam should be conducted in all renal cell carcinoma patients in search of metastasis. In some patients, the presence of the following may be helpful for the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma:
- Low body mass index (BMI)
- High blood pressure
- Palpation of abdominal mass
- Auscultation of abdominal bruit
- Varicocele
- Muscle atrophy
- Skin pallor
- Facial flushing
- Supraclavicular lymphadenopathy
- Abnormal neurological exam
