Bilateral renal cell carcinoma

Cutaneous metastasis of bilateral renal cell carcinoma.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant lethal tumour with high potential of metastasis. However, metastasis from RCC to the skin is much less common. It is virtually a sign of poor prognosis. We represent a 42 years old man with bilateral RCC of clear cell type followed by metastasis to the scalp one month later. In this case the relatively young age of the patient, bilaterality of RCC and o...

Bilateral hybrid oncocytoma and renal cell carcinoma.

A 26-year-old female presented with abdominal pain and distension in 2003. Clinical evaluation and imaging were suggestive of bilateral benign renal solid masses. Fine needle aspiration showed tubular cells only. Patient was kept under periodic follow up. She reported 4 years later with increase in pain and size of masses, and underwent bilateral staged nephron sparing surgery. The histopatholo...

Bilateral hilar adenopathy: an unusual presentation of renal cell carcinoma.

Isolated symmetrical hilar adenopathy in an asymptomatic patient is an unusual presentation for pulmonary metastatic disease. In a large series of patients with bilateral hilar adenopathy only those with sarcoidosis were free of symptoms. In contrast, all the patients with hilar adenopathy secondary to extrathoracic neoplasms were symptomatic and the primary tumour was apparent.' The purpose of...

Synchronous rectal adenocarcinoma and bilateral clear cell renal carcinoma.

A 69-year-old man was admitted for resection of rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed by colonoscopy. Preoperative computed tomography scan and abdominal ultrasonography revealed bilateral renal tumors measuring up to 2 and 2.8 cm in largest diameter, respectively. The patient underwent partial colectomy and bilateral partial nephrectomy. Microscopically, rectal adenocarcinoma penetrated the submucos...
