title: [Synchronous bilateral cancer of the kidney in the adult. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Following a case of synchronous bilateral renal cancer, we carried out a review of the literature and defined the specific therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of this clinical condition. Conservative surgery should be proposed as first line treatment. Results in terms of survival depend on the histological characteristics of the more affected kidney. The prognosis is relatively good in general and better than that of unilateral cancer.
