Unusual Presentation of Renal Cell Carcinoma in Crossed Ectopic Kidney

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Crossed renal ectopia is a rare anomaly and ninety percent of crossed ectopic kidneys are fused to their ipsilateral mate. Based on autopsy findings, the incidence has been estimated to be one in 2000 individuals. CASE PRESENTATION We hereby report on a 53-year-old woman with two episodes of painless gross hematuria. Imaging revealed left side fused crossed renal ectopia and filling defect within the pyelocaliceal of crossed kidney. CONCLUSIONS The patient underwent surgery applying a midline incision. The left kidney showed a lump pattern embedded in lower pole of the right kidney. Left sided nephrectomy was performed while temporary right renal artery was clamped temporarily. Histopathological evaluation revealed clear cell carcinoma with severe nuclear atypia (Fuhrman grade 4/4). However, local recurrence was not detected during the 18-month follow up after surgery.

INTRODUCTION Renal ectopia or ectopic kidney is a congenital anomaly in which one or both kidneys are located in an unusual position. It results from the kidney failing to ascend properly from its origin in the true pelvis. In some cases, one kidney may cross over (crossed renal ectopia) so that both kidneys are on the same side of the body. When a crossover occurs, the two kidneys may grow tog...

The standard therapy for thyroid cancer is total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by the administration of radioactive iodine for remnant ablation or residual disease. Patients with radioiodine therapy are predisposed to second malignant neoplasms in organs such as central nervous system (CNS), breast, prostate, kidney, bone marrow, salivary gland, and digestive tract. Exposure to carcinog...
متن کاملCrossed nonfused renal ectopia with variant blood vessels: a rare congenital renal anomaly
Crossed renal ectopia is a rare congenital anomaly, where one of the kidneys crosses the midline and lies opposite to the site of its normal ureteral insertion. Ninety percent of crossed ectopic kidneys are fused to their ipsilateral uncrossed kidney. Crossed renal ectopia without fusion is rare. We present the case of a 53-year-old male with an unusual incidental finding of crossed nonfused re...
