A case of the world's largest renal cell carcinoma

Radical nephrectomy for a giant chromophobe renal cell carcinoma diagnosed > 17 years previously: a case report and literature review

Early diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma relies on imaging tests such as ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Since surgery is associated with a favorable prognosis, the standard treatment for clinically limited renal cell carcinoma remains surgical resection. Among asymptomatic patients with localized renal cell carcinoma, a small number refuse surgical treatment and survive. We report a case involving a 59-year-old female who underwent a difficult radical nephrectomy 17 years after being diagnosed with malignant tumors due to primary renal cell carcinoma.

A case report of the world largest spindle cell renal tumor (9 kg) with longest survival, removed by innovative technique

Renal cell carcinoma includes about 2% of global cancer and mostly diagnosed in early stages due to wide usage of imaging studies, in this article we report a huge 9 kg renal mass.

A 54 years old woman consulted for her stomach ache, in the CT scan study, it revealed a huge abdominal mass occupying most of the abdomen and pelvic area. Innovative surgical resection was performed. Our 9kg renal mass was the first and largest fully solid spindle cell renal tumor, with the longest survival ever reported.
