| Sumario: | Introduction & Objectives: multifocal synchronous renal cancer on a solitary kidney represent a challenging clinical scenario. The complexity of imperative nephron-sparring surgery in this setting resides in ensuring complete excision of cancer with the maximal preservation of renal function. We aim to present a case of multiple partial nephrectomy (MPN) for multifocal synchronous renal cancer in a patient with a solitary kidney and discuss our experience of imperative partial in this setting. Materials & Methods: We present a case of a 76 years old man with a past medical history of hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, peripheral vascular disease, left radical nephrectomy for renal mass (2006) and a right renal artery stent placement for renal artery stenosis. During his surveillance, computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan showed 3 enhancing renal masses (2.2cm, 1.5cm and 1cm, respectively). Biopsy of the largest mass was consistent in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Preoperative level of creatinine was 1.4mg/dL and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 50ml/min/1,73m2. After ablative therapy was deemed unsafe, a MPN was planned. |
