A solitary skeletal metastasis in the thumb of a silent bilateral clear cell renal cell carcinoma pT1a in a patient with a sporadic uro-oncological triplicity
Abstract
We present a case report of a 72-year old male with a long urological history (prostate adenocarcinoma after radical prostatectomy with rising PSA level and urothelial carcinoma pTa low grade with one recurrence) who underwent reconstructive surgery for a left thumb metastasis of a clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Repeated CT scans showed two tiny lesions in both kidneys during follow-up.
Nephron-sparing surgery of the right kidney and left-sided nephroureterectomy in two sessions proved a bilateral clear cell renal cell carcinoma pT1a. The patient underwent genetic analysis by the sequence capture panel CZECANCA targeting 219 susceptibility genes to reveal a highly presumable hereditary cancer syndrome, but no significant mutation was found.
