[Renal cell carcinoma associated with renal artery aneurysm].
We report the 5th case of renal cell carcinoma associated with renal artery aneurysm in the Japanese literature. A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for further examination of a right renal mass. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 6 x 5 cm tumor at the upper pole of the right kidney and an aneurysm of the right renal artery. An angiography showed duplicated renal arteries and a saccular aneurysm 2.1 x 2.5 cm occurring at the first bifurcation of one renal artery. A transperitoneal radical nephrectomy was performed.
