On the basis of a particular case of "atypical" hypernephroma the main differential diagnosis of solid renal masses are described with reference to the basis disease: testicle tumour causing metastasis. The problems of determining the dignity of the disease by methods of sonography, pyelogram and CT are pointed out as well as the differences between those characteristics of the said tumour revealed by x-ray diagnosis and the known characteristics of substantial kidney deformations as described in medical literature.
