title: Renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney: late nephrectomy after 35 years and analysis of tumor deoxyribonucleic acid content.
abstract: We report a case of renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney, which was palpable for 35 years and verified histopathologically 31 years before nephrectomy. Deoxyribonucleic acid analysis of paraffin embedded and new surgical samples showed a similar aneuploid deoxyribonucleic acid content with an index of 1.3. The unusually long survival of this patient is discussed.
