title: [A case of genitourinary double cancers detected by health screening].
abstract: A 58-year-old male with left renal cell carcinoma and prostatic carcinoma occurring synchronously, is reported. He visited our hospital, because of the high level of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) pointed out in a health screening by his company. Prostatic cancer was detected in both lobes of the prostate by needle biopsy specimens and histopathology represented moderately > poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) revealed no cancer invasion beyond the prostate and no lymph node metastasis. Bone scintigram showed no abnormal RI accumulation to bone. Therefore, his prostatic cancer was considered to be at stage B2. Abdominal ultrasound echogram showed the mass lesion in the left kidney. CT and angiogram also demonstrated a left renal tumor. Left radical nephrectomy was performed and histopathology showed a mixed subtype of renal cell carcinoma (stage: pT2b, pN0, pM0). Although 94 cases of double cancers associated with genitourinary organs have been reported in the Japanese literature, only 4 cases of double cancers of renal cell carcinoma and prostatic cancer have been reported.
