Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent malignancies of the genitourinary tract and has high mortality rates. Ten to fifteen percent of the patients are asymptomatic and it is incidentally detected by the imaging methods done for the investigation of other diseases. Metastasis is most frequently to the lungs, bone or liver. In this article, we presented to 64 year-old male patient, who had a retroperitoneal cystic mass reaching up to 18 cm in size according to imaging techniques. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (4): 535-537

The asymptomatic giant renal mass diagnosed due to its metastasis: Case report

Abstract

Renal Hücreli Kanser genitoüriner sistemin en sık görülen malignitelerinden biridir ve yüksek mortalite oranlarına sahiptir. Hastaların %10-15\' i asemptomatiktir ve başka hastalıkların araştırılması için yapılan görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tesadüfen tespit edilmektedir. Metastazları en sık akciğer, kemik veya karaciğere olmaktadır. Bu makalede görüntüleme teknikleri neticesinde 18 cm\'ye ulaşan boyutta retroperitoneal kistik kitlesi olan 64 yaşındaki erkek hasta sunulmaktadır.
