An Unusually Large Renal Cell Carcinoma Resection: a Gentle Giant
نویسنده
چکیده
A 66 year-old had a mass from right kidney. Lung masses with spiculated margins were noted suggestive of metastases. Radical nephrectomy and right pulmonary metastasectomy in first stage followed by left metastasectomy four weeks later was done. Specimen was 17 x 16 x 15cm and weighed 5.018kg. Metastasectomy specimens were negative for malignancy. This case is being reported to add to the notoriety of unusual and unpredictable behaviour of renal carcinoma. It was a mass that would deter the boldest of surgeons and yet was complacent inside the kidney. Endemic prevalence of TB throws many a red herring.

متن کاملIn vivo imaging of cellular proliferation in renal cell carcinoma using 18F-fluorothymidine PET
Objective(s): The ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18Ffluorothymidine (FLT) PET in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and to compare this to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...
