Primary Ewing Sarcoma of the Kidney with Inferior Vena Cava Invasion
نویسنده
چکیده
Ewing sarcoma is typically a skeletal based tumor of presumed neuroectodermal origin. Primary Ewing sarcoma of the kidney is exceedingly rare and is usually found in young adults. We report a case of primary Ewing sarcoma with inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion that was managed successfully with radical nephrectomy and partial replacement of IVC using bovine pericardial patch. *Corresponding author: Jong Kil Nam, Department of Urology, Pusan National University, School of Medicine, Yangsan Hospital, Beomo-ri, Mulgeumeup, Yangsan, Gyeongnam 626-770, Korea, Tel: 82-55-360-2134; E-mail: [email protected] Received March 24, 2014; Accepted December 30, 2014; Published January 03, 2015 Citation: Nam JK (2015) Primary Ewing Sarcoma of the Kidney with Inferior Vena Cava Invasion.
