Abstract

A 45-year-old woman underwent left radical nephrectomy in April 2002. Pathological diagnosis was a renal cell carcinoma, clear cell subtype, pT3a, v(-), NO. One year later, abdominal ultrasound revealed a left ovarian tumor which had an enlargement tendency. A laparoscopic bilateral salpingooophorectomy was performed. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic ovarian renal cell carcinoma. This is the 20th case in the literature.
