Renal cell carcinoma in ectopic-pelvic kidney: A rare case with review of literature

Özet

The incidence of renal cell carcinoma in a pelvic kidney is rare, and has only been reported in a small numberof cases. We report a 50-year-old male patient presented with vague abdominal pain and without hematuria.CT scan showed large heterogeneous soft tissue mass arising from a left pelvic kidney with areas of necrosismeasuring 8.4x8.4x7.5 cm. Histopathology after radical nephro-ureterectomy showed grade II clear-cell renalcarcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma of ectopic kidney is a rare disease. Even though the presentation might beatypical and challenging, the treatment strategy is still the same as for tumors of orthotopic kidneys.
