Single omental metastasis of renal cell carcinoma after radical nephrectomy:A case report

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma(RCC)is the third most common malignancy in the genitourinary tract.The lungs,bone,lymph nodes,liver,and brain are common metastatic sites of RCC.However,there is limited literature on single omental metastasis of RCC.CASE SUMMARY We present the case of a 44-year-old man with single omental metastasis of RCC after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.Pathological diagnosis of the resected left kidney revealed pT3a clear cell RCC(Fuhrman grade III).At 6 mo postoperatively,abdominal computed tomography revealed a 12-mm enhancing nodule in the left lower peritoneum.At 7 mo after initial operation,laparoscopic removal of the left omental nodule was performed.The pathological results indicated metastatic clear cell RCC.Currently,the patient is being treated with adjuvant pembrolizumab.CONCLUSION Omental metastasis of RCC owing to laparoscopic radical nephrectomy is rare.Urologists should be aware of the diverse nature of RCC.

Case Report: Primary Urothelial Carcinoma of Ureteral Stump Following Radical Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma

PUC is common in the urinary tract. It may occur in the urinary bladder and the collecting system of the upper urinary tract, such as the renal pelvis and ureter. However, PUC of ureteral stump after a nephrectomy is rare, and it’s even rarer in patients undergoing a radical nephrectomy for RCC. We describe a female patient with painless gross hematuria that was secondary to PUC of ureteral stump after a radical nephrectomy for RCC diagnosed 6 years ago. We discuss the etiology, diagnosis and treatment for PUC of ureteral stump following radical nephrectomy for RCC.

Partial Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma: Risk Factors for Acute Post-Operative Hemorrhage and Impact on Subsequent Hospital Course and Complete Nephrectomy Rate. An Analysis of 200 Consecutive Cases

Purpose: Clinical guidelines recommend partial nephrectomy (PN) as the preferred method of surgical excision of the small renal tumor whenever feasible. PN has comparable cancer cure rates to that of radical nephrectomy in this setting, and decreased risk of chronic kidney disease. A recognized devastating complication following partial nephrectomy is acute post-operative hemorrhage (APOH) from the reconstructed kidney. Risk factors for hemorrhage following partial nephrectomy remain poorly elucidated, as does the impact of hemorrhage on subsequent hospital stay. Identification of risk factors for hemorrhage may lead to a better understanding of and reduction of this complication. Material and Methods: We utilized a prospectively managed database comprised of patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy at our institution by the same surgical team from January 2006 to July 2012. Clinicopathologic factors assessed APOH for their relationships, including patient age, gender, diabetes, smoking, hypertension, coronary artery disease, American Society of Anesthesia Score (ASA), tumor size, RENAL nephrotomy score, pathologic result, cancer margin status, operative time, and intra-operative blood loss. The impact of APOH on subsequent hospital course was evaluated and compared with the entire cohort. Results: Data were analyzed from 200 consecutive patients. We identified 7 patients (3.5%) who experienced APOH. Compared with the entire cohort, APOH resulted in an increased hospital length of stay (median, 5 days;range, 2-11 days, p = 0.001), an increased transfusion requirement (median, 6 units;range, 1-16 units. p = 0.001), a greater risk of selective angiographic embolization (median, 2 procedures;range, 0-3, p = 0.001), and completion nephrectomy (n = 2, p = 0.001). One patient in the APOH group experienced cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. Clinicopathologic factors associated

Lymph node non-Hodgkin's lymphoma incidentally discovered during a nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma

We report the case of a left laparoscopic nephroureterectomy with the incidental discovery of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in one of the lymph nodes of the renal hilum. A laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was decided on for a 64-year-old man. Renal cell carcinoma in the kidney and one lymph node of the renal hilum with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was found. Chemotherapy was not started for the lymphoma discovery. There are no signs of relapse after two years of follow up. Coexistence in the same patient is an extremely rare condition. We review the literature about this issue to clarify this association.

Contemporary techniques and outcomes of surgery for locally advanced renal cell carcinoma with focus on inferior vena cava thrombectomy:The value of a multidisciplinary team

Objective:To report the outcomes of surgery for a contemporary series of patients with locally advanced non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma(RCC)treated at a referral academic centre,focusing on technical nuances and on the value of a multidisciplinary team.Methods:We queried our prospective institutional database to identify patients undergoing surgical treatment for locally advanced(cT3-T4 N0-1 M0)renal masses suspected of RCC at our centre between January 2017 and December 2020.Results:Overall,32 patients were included in the analytic cohort.Of these,12(37.5%)tumours were staged as cT3a,8(25.0%)as cT3b,5(15.6%)as cT3c,and 7(21.9%)as cT4;6(18.8%)patients had preoperative evidence of lymph node involvement.Nine(28.1%)patients underwent nephron-sparing surgery while 23(71.9%)received radical nephrectomy.A template-based lymphadenectomy was performed in 12 cases,with evidence of disease in 3(25.0%)at definitive histopathological analysis.Four cases of RCC with level IV inferior vena cava thrombosis were successfully treated using liver transplant techniques without the need for extracorporeal circulation.While intraoperative complications were recorded in 3(9.4%)patients,no postoperative major complications(Clavien-Dindo3)were observed.At histopathological analysis,2(6.2%)patients who underwent partial nephrectomy harboured oncocytoma,while the most common malignant histotype was clear cell RCC(62.5%),with a median Leibovich score of 6(interquartile range 5e7).Conclusion:Locally advanced RCC is a complex and heterogenous disease posing several challenges to surgical teams.Our experience confirms that provided careful patient selection,surgery in experienced hands can achieve favourable perioperative,oncological,and functional outcomes.

Renal cell carcinoma:An update for the practicing urologist

Systemic therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma(mRCC)has evolved drastically,with agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and the mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)now representing a standard of care.The present paper is to review the current status of relevant clinical trials that were either recently completed or ongoing.(1)Though observation remains a standard of care following resection of localized disease,multiple trials are underway to assess VEGF-and mTOR-directed therapies in this setting.(2)While the preponderance of retrospective data favors cytoreductive nephrectomy in the context of targeted agents,prospective data to support this approach is still forthcoming.(3)The first-line management of mRCC may change substantially with multiple studies exploring vaccines,immune checkpoint inhibitors,and novel targeted agents currently underway.In general,prospective studies that will report within the next several years will be critical in defining the role of adjuvant therapy and cytoreductive nephrectomy.Over the same span of time,the current treatment paradigm for first-line therapy may evolve.

Kidney re-transplantation after living donor graft nephrectomy due to de novo chromophobe renal cell carcinoma:A case report

BACKGROUND There are few reported cases of allograft nephrectomy due to malignancy followed by successful renal re-transplantation two years later.In this paper,we report a patient who underwent kidney re-transplantation after living donor graft nephrectomy due to de novo chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(ChRCC)involving the allograft kidney.CASE SUMMARY A 34-year-old man underwent living kidney transplantation at the age of 22 years for end-stage renal disease.Maintenance immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil(MMF),and prednisone.Six years posttransplantation,at another hospital,ultrasonography revealed a small mass involving the upper pole of the graft.The patient declined further examination and treatment at this point.Seven years and three months post-transplantation,the patient experienced decreasing appetite,weight loss,gross hematuria,fatigue,and oliguria.Laboratory tests showed anemia(hemoglobin level was 53 g/L).Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a large heterogeneous cysticsolid mass involving the upper pole of the renal allograft.Graft nephrectomy was performed and immunosuppressants were withdrawn.Histological and immunohistochemical features of the tumor were consistent with ChRCC.One year after allograft nephrectomy,low doses of tacrolimus and MMF were administered for preventing allosensitization.Two years after allograft nephrectomy,the patient underwent kidney re-transplantation.Graft function remained stable with no ChRCC recurrence in more than 2-years of follow-up.CONCLUSION De novo ChRCC in kidney graft generally has a good prognosis after graft nephrectomy and withdrawal of immunosuppression.Kidney re-transplantation could be a viable treatment.A 2-year malignancy-free period may be sufficient time before re-transplantation.

Chronic kidney disease after radical nephrectomy for suspected renal cancers

Nephrectomy is the treatment of choice for early stage renal cell carcinoma. However,radical nephrectomy is consistently associated with higher rates of newonset chronic kidney disease(CKD) than the general population,regardless of the method used in measuring renal function. The higher rates of CKD are associated with worsened survival because of increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Comorbidities and adjacent non-neoplastic kidney diseases are important risk factors for the development of CKD after nephrectomy. Partial nephrectomy has become the standard of care for patients with stage 1a tumours(diameter < 4 cm) and an attractive option for those with stage 1b(diameter 4-7 cm). Therefore stratifying the risk of postoperative CKD before surgery is important and ongoing monitoring of kidney function after radical nephrectomy is needed in addition to oncological surveillance. More research is needed to better understand the risk of CKD after radical nephrectomy and develop effective strategies to optimize kidney function after such surgery.

Oncological outcome of surgical treatment in 336 patients with renal cell carcinoma

Background and Objective: The most effective therapy against renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is surgical treatment; however, there have been few large-scale studies that focused on the oncological outcome of this disease in China. The aim of the current study was to report the clinicopathological results and cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate in RCC patients after surgical treatment in our center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 336 RCC patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy between 1999 and 2006. Of the 336 patients, 226 were male and 110 were female; the median age was 51 years. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify the independent prognostic predictors for this cohort of RCC patients. Results: During follow-up, the overall 5-year CSS rate was 81.4%. The 5-year CSS rates for patients with stage-I, -II, -III, and -IV RCC were 94.7%, 88.9%, 68.8%, and 19.3%, respectively. The patients with T1N0M0 (T1) and T2N0M0 (T2) tumors had similar survival curves. For patients with T1 category tumor, the survival rate did not differ significantly between the radical nephrectomy and nephron-sparing surgery groups. For the 21 patients with metastasis confined to the local lymph nodes, the 5-year survival rate was 31.6% after radical nephrectomy and lymph node dissection. For the 15 patients with vena caval tumor thrombus, the 5-year survival rate was 52.5% after radical nephrectomy and tumor thrombus extirpation. Multivariate Cox regression showed that stage was an independent predictor for CSS (hazard ratio, 3.359; P < 0.001). Conclusions: For localized RCC, the oncological outcome of this cohort is comparable to that reported in the Western literature. For some patients with locally advanced RCC, aggressive surgical treatment can lead to better long-term survival. However, the prognosis of the patients with metastasis still needs to be improved.

Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature

Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma(ccpRCC) was recently established as a distinct type of epithelial neoplasm by the International Society of Urological Pathology Vancouver Classification of Renal Neoplasia. Here,we report a case of partial nephrectomy for a ccpRCC detected during the routine follow-up of a previously treated liposarcoma in a 70-year-old male patient. The patient was referred to the urology department for a right-sided renal mass(size: 2 cm)detected during routine annual imaging follow-up for a malignant right inguinal fibrous histocytoma and liposarcoma that had been diagnosed 6 and 4 years earlier,respectively,and treated with surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy.Following partial nephrectomy,the renal mass was pathologically diagnosed as ccpRCC,and immunohistochemistry revealed carbonic anhydrase 9(CA9)expression. No recurrences or metastases were detected on follow-up imaging for6 months. This is the first report of partial nephrectomy for incidentally discovered CA9-positive ccpRCC.

Synchronous sporadic bilateral multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinoma accompanied by a clear cell carcinoma and a cyst: A case report

BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinomas are usually unilateral.However,they are bilateral in 2%to 4%of sporadic cases and is considerably more common in familial cases.Synchronous sporadic bilateral multiple chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(CHRCC)with different subtypes is rare.CASE SUMMARY In this case report,we describe a case of synchronous bilateral CHRCC with two histological variants,accompanied by a clear cell carcinoma and a cyst in a 50-year-old male.The patient underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic bilateral nephron-sparing surgery and there was no serious postoperative renal dysfunction.CONCLUSION We report a rare case of synchronous bilateral CHRCC with two histological variants associated with a clear cell carcinoma and a cyst.

Potential benefit of lymph node dissection during radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer:A review and critical analysis of current literature

Objective:The role of lymph node dissection(LND)is still controversial in patients with renal cell carcinoma undergoing surgery.We aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the literature about the effect of LND on survival,prognosis,surgical outcomes,as well as patient selection and available LND templates.Methods:Recent literature(from January 2011 to December 2021)was assessed through PubMed and MEDLINE databases.A narrative review of most relevant articles was provided.Results:The frequencies in which LNDs are being carried out are decreasing due to an increase in minimally invasive and nephron sparing surgery.Moreover,randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses failed to show any survival advantage of LND versus no LND.However,retrospective studies suggest a survival benefit of LND in high-risk patients(bulky tumors,T3-4 stage,and cN1 patients).Moreover,extended LND might provide important staging information,which could be of interest for adjuvant treatment planning.Conclusion:No level 1 evidence of any survival advantage deriving from LND is currently available in literature.Thus,the role of LND is limited to staging purposes.However,low grade evidence suggests a possible role of LND in high-risk patients.Randomized clinical trials are warranted to corroborate these findings.

Spontaneous regression of renal cell carcinoma: Reality or myth?

Spontaneous regression of a malignant tumor is a very rare phenomenon.Renal cell carcinoma(RCC)is an aggressive malignancy with an often unpredictable behaviour.The incidence of spontaneous regression in metastatic RCC has been estimated to lie between<1%and 7%.The spontaneous regression of a primary RCC has been reported much less commonly.Our literature review assesses the published literature concerning spontaneous regression of either primary or metastatic RCC.In order to examine this phenomenon in more detail we performed a literature search in the Pub Med Database using the Keywords"renal cell carcinoma","metastatic disease",and"spontaneous regression"and included reports from the last100 years.The incidence of spontaneous regressions in RCC has always been considered a special feature of RCC compared to other solid malignancies.The majority of case reports of spontaneously regressed RCC describe the regression of metastases after nephrectomy rather than the spontaneous regression of a primary tumor.In cases of reported regression of metastatic RCC,this mostly applied to pulmonarylesions.As possible reasons for spontaneous regressions host immune defense mechanisms against metastatic RCC tissue following nephrectomy are discussed as important factor.RCC is known to be highly immunogenic and the possible existence of cytotoxic serum factors and tumor-specific surface antigens may trigger a cell-mediated cytotoxicity as an immunological basis for regression.Histological verification of supposed regression of a primary tumor may cause diagnostic difficulties,since large central areas of necrosis and cystic lesions of the tumor can occur simultaneously.The well-known phenomenon of necrosis in a fast growing RCC at the time of nephrectomy must not be confused with true spontaneous regression.Therefore,in our opinion such reported cases of supposed partial spontaneous regressions of primary RCCs are highly questionable.Most cases of spontaneous regression of RCC metastases have been reported after nephrectomy as the only treatment.Debulking by tumor nephrectomy then gives the immune system the chance to cope effectively with the remaining much lower quantity of tumour antigens.However,the mechanisms leading to spontaneous regression of metastatic lesions after cytoreductive nephrectomy are still poorly understood.

Metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma in isolated retroperitoneal lymph node without evidence of primary tumor in kidneys: A case report

BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection(RPLND)plays a diagnostic,therapeutic,and prognostic role in myriad urologic malignancies,including testicular carcinoma,renal cell carcinoma(RCC),and upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.RCC represents 2%of all cancers with approximately 25%of patients presenting with advanced disease.Clear cell RCC(CCRCC)is the most common RCC,accounting for 75%-80%of all RCC.CASE SUMMARY A 71-year-old man presented with a history of benign prostatic hypertrophy.He was asymptomatic without any hematuria,pain,or other urinary symptoms.A computed tomography(CT)scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed a 1.8 cm left retroperitoneal lymph node.There was no evidence of renal pathology.A core biopsy was performed of the left para-aortic lymph node.Although the primary tumor site was unknown,the morphological and immunohistochemical features were most consistent with CCRCC.A RPLND was performed which revealed a single mass 5.5 cm in greatest dimension with extensive necrosis.The retroperitoneal lymph node was most compatible with CCRCC.A nephrectomy was not conducted as a renal mass had not been detected on any prior imaging studies.The patient did not receive any type of adjuvant therapy.The patient underwent surveillance with serial CT scans with contrast of the chest,abdomen,and pelvis for the next 5 years,all of which demonstrated no recurrent or metastatic disease and no evidence of retroperitoneal adenopathy.CONCLUSION Our unique case emphasizes the therapeutic role of metastasectomy in metastatic CCRCC even in the absence of primary tumor in the kidneys.

Gastric metastasis presenting as submucosa tumors from renal cell carcinoma:A case report

BACKGROUND Gastric metastasis from renal cell carcinoma(RCC) is an extremely rare clinical entity.Due to an easily neglected RCC history,nonspecific symptoms and underrecognized endoscopic presentation may lead to a potential diagnostic pitfall in daily clinical practice.CASE SUMMARY We present a case of metastatic gastric tumors arising from RCC 5 years after radical nephrectomy.Simultaneous,multifocal metastases to the gallbladder,pancreas and soft tissue were observed.One year previously,a solitary submucosal discoid tumor with a central depression was detected in the gastric fundus in a 65-year-old man.Endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) showed a 1.12 x 0.38 cm lesion originating from the deeper mucosal layers with partially discontinuous submucosa.One year later,the endoscopic findings of the lesion showed various changes.A large lesion of the protruding type(2.5 cm × 2 cm) was found in the fundus at the same location.EUS showed a heterogeneous mass that involved the mucosa and submucosal layer.In addition,two small similar submucosal lesions 0.4-0.6 cm in size were detected.These lesions had a central depression,surface mucosal congestion and thickened vessels.The two adjacent lesions in the fundus were resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection.Based on the postoperative pathological analysis,the patient was diagnosed with gastric metastasis from RCC.CONCLUSION Gastric metastasis from RCC should be considered in patients with a history of RCC irrespective of the time interval involved.

The Association between Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease and Renal Cell Carcinoma

Objectives: The relationship between autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is investigated to determine a link that would guide management due to elevated RCC risk. Current literature is inconclusive on this topic. Methods: This study is a retrospective chart review of patients having undergone nephrectomy. Those with pathology and history consistent with ADPKD were reviewed for presence of RCC. Results: The review at this institution revealed RCC in 18% of ADPKD patients who underwent nephrectomy. These rates are significantly higher than those found in the general population, and even greater than those would be expected in patients suffering end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Conclusions: Due to the increased prevalence of RCC in ADPKD, clinicians managing patients with ADPKD should maintain a high index of suspicion. Our data suggest a link between ADPKD and RCC, most likely at the genetic level. In light of this, we feel that further genetic research is needed to potentially discover the link between these two disease processes.

The Effect of Different Surgical Methods on the Number of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma

Objective: The objective is to explore the effects of different surgical methods-retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RLRN) and open radical nephrectomy (ORN) on the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the peripheral blood of patients with renal cancer. Methods: The clinical data of 63 patients in the Department of Urology, Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College who underwent radical surgery for renal cancer were divided into CTC positive group (18 cases of open surgery and 16 cases of minimally invasive surgery) and CTC negative group (14 cases of open surgery), 15 cases of minimally invasive surgery), overall group (32 cases of open surgery, 31 cases of minimally invasive surgery). Observe the changes in the number of CTC 1 week before operation and 1 week after operation. Results: In the positive group, whether it was open surgery or minimally invasive surgery, the postoperative CTC level of patients was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). In the negative group, the CTC decreased significantly after open surgery (P > 0.05), and the CTC level decreased significantly after minimally invasive surgery (P < 0.01). In the overall group, both open and minimally invasive surgery CTC decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The two different surgical methods can reduce the level of CTC, but compared with ORN, RLRN can significantly reduce the number of postoperative CTC. Patients in the CTC-negative group may be less suitable for open surgery. CTC levels have certain potential in the selection and guidance of treatment modes for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Three-dimensional imaging reconstruction of the kidney’s anatomy for a tailored minimally invasive partial nephrectomy:A pilot study

Objective:The aim of the study was to evaluate three-dimensional virtual models(3DVMs)usefulness in the intraoperative assistance of minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy in highly complex renal tumors.Methods:At our institution cT1-2N0M0 all renal masses with Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical classification score≥10 treated with minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy were considered for the present study.For inclusion a baseline contrast-enhanced computed tomography in order to obtain 3DVMs,the baseline and postoperative serum creatinine as well as estimated glomerular filtration rate values were needed.These patients,in which 3DVMs were used to assist the surgeon in the planning and intraoperative guidance,were then compared with a control group of patients who underwent minimally-invasive partial nephrectomy with the same renal function assessments,but without 3DVMs.Multivariable logistic regression models were used to predict the margin,ischemia,and complication score achievement.Results:Overall,79 patients met the inclusion criteria and were compared with 143 complex renal masses without 3DVM assistance.The 3DVM group showed better postoperative outcomes in terms of baseline-weighted differential estimated glomerular filtration rate(-17.7%vs.-22.2%,p=0.03),postoperative complications(16.5%vs.23.1%,p=0.03),and major complications(Clavien Dindo>III,2.5%vs.5.6%,p=0.03).At multivariable logistic regression 3DVM assistance independently predicted higher rates of successful partial nephrectomy(odds ratio:1.42,p=0.03).Conclusion:3DVMs represent a useful tool to plan a tailored surgical approach in case of surgically complex masses.They can be used in different ways,matching the surgeon's needs from the planning phase to the demolitive and reconstructive phase,leading towards maximum safety and efficacy outcomes.

高侵袭性特殊分子特征肾细胞癌的外科治疗决策及其价值 (“大家泌尿网”观看手术视频)

特殊分子特征肾细胞癌是2022版世界卫生组织(WHO)泌尿系统及男性生殖器官肿瘤分类中首次提出的1类具有明确驱动基因的肾癌病理亚型。其中以延胡索酸水合酶缺陷型肾细胞癌(FH-RCC)和SMARCB1基因缺陷型肾髓样癌为代表的肾癌亚型具有高侵袭性和高致死性等临床特点,极易出现早期转移,故称为高侵袭性特殊分子特征肾细胞癌。该类肾癌亚型的发病率低且缺乏相关机制研究,目前临床仍无标准治疗方案。针对原发病灶或者转移病灶的减瘤性肾切除手术均是在全身系统化药物治疗下进一步改善转移性肾癌患者生命和生活质量的重要手段。但针对高侵袭性特殊分子特征肾细胞癌,外科治疗的策略及其价值尚不明确,值得深入讨论和思考。本文就上述问题进行讨论,以期为高侵袭性特殊分子特征肾细胞癌患者的预后改善提供线索和参考。
