Abstract

A 53-year-old woman was admitted with right lower abdominal pain in November 1993. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a right renal tumor, suspected to be a renal cancer. She underwent right radical nephrectomy in December 1993. The pathological diagnosis was clear cell carcinoma, pT2, grade 2. In May 2006, follow-up CT showed a tumor arising from the left perirenal fat. Laparoscopic tumor excision was performed in August 2006. The pathological diagnosis was metastatic clear cell carcinoma.
