Partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in an allograft kidney with limited functional reserve
نویسندگان
چکیده
The increased risk of malignancies is a well-recognized complication of organ transplantation. When renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in kidney transplant recipients, less than 10% of it affects the allograft. Recent experience suggests that partial allograft nephrectomy for tumours less than 4 cm may be considered the treatment of choice. We report a case of a 3.3 cm RCC discovered in a renal allograft. Limited allograft function was due to segmental infarction after transplant surgery and chronic allograft nephropathy. She underwent successful partial allograft nephrectomy. At 36 months post-surgery, there is no evidence of RCC recurrence and she remains free of renal replacement therapy.

Open Partial Nephrectomy without Ischemia; Case Series
Aims: Renal vascular clamping during partial nephrectomy can lead to renal ischemia and kidney damage due to reperfusion injuries, but a surgical technique without any ischemia can eliminate such unwanted effects on kidney function. The present study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of partial nephrectomy in conditions where the renal artery is ready to be clamped. Patient Information: In ...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is more common in renal transplant and dialysis patients than the general population. However, RCC in transplanted kidneys is rare, and treatment has previously consisted of nephrectomy with a return to dialysis. There has been recent interest in nephron-sparing procedures as a treatment option for RCC in allograft kidneys in an effort to retain allograft function. Fo...

Background and Objective: Nowadays, partial nephrectomy (PN) has specific indications in renal tumors. There are challenges regarding the remaining and seeding of malignant cells after surgery due to increasing tendency to do laparoscopic PN (LPN) and consequently increased manipulation of the surrounding tumor tissue. The objective of this study is to investigate the frequency of renal capsule...

Renal cell carcinoma comprises about 2% of adult tumors. The overall 10-year survival rate of patients with RCC after nephrectomy is about 18-27%. The incidence of metastasis of initial RCC is about 24-28%, but this rate after nephrectomy is as high as 51%. The most common site of recurrence is the lung, however liver and bone metastases are common.There are many reported cases with late metast...
