title: Primary renal carcinoid tumor with multiple metastases.
abstract: Primary renal carcinoid tumors are extremely rare lesions of the kidney, with fewer than 60 cases reported previously. Here, we present the case of a 46-year-old man who had primary renal carcinoid tumor with multiple liver, para-aortic lymph node and bony metastases when he was diagnosed initially. In consideration of life quality, we performed cytoreductive surgery only. In the following year, the patient did not have any severe cancer-related morbidity.
