[Bilateral partial nephrectomy in a case of bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma].
We report a case of bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma in a 66-year-old-man, who underwent bilateral partial nephrectomy. He visited our hospital, complaining of left flank pain. Drip infusion pyelography showed a left ureteral stone and left hydroureteronephrosis. Computerized tomography revealed bilateral renal tumors. These tumors were small (< 2 cm), so bilateral partial nephrectomy and left ureterolithotomy were performed. The pathological examination showed that all tumors were renal cell carcinoma. No recurrence has been seen nine months after the operation. This is the 12th case in the Japanese literature reported as bilateral partial nephrectomy for bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma.
