Synchronous bilateral renal carcinoma. Enucleation of tumor and simultaneous contralateral nephrectomy.
We present a case of bilateral renal cell carcinoma occurring simultaneously with a single lymph node metastasis clearly demonstrated by angiography. Radical nephrectomy, blunt enucleation of the cortical tumor in the controlateral kidney and removal of a large lymph node metastasis were performed simultaneously.
