title: Synchronous squamous esophageal carcinoma and urothelial renal cancer.
abstract: Synchronous development of a second primary cancer in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was reported in 2.73%-11% of the cases. Although the synchronous association between esophageal and renal cancer is very rare, an increasingly number of cases is reported in medical literature. This study's aim is to report a case of synchronous esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and an urothelial carcinoma of the right kidney. Patient G.D. was admitted in our clinic with esophageal cancer diagnosis; during the preoperative work-up protocol, an asymptomatic right renal mass was discovered. A nephroureteroscopy with biopsy was performed and the urothelial renal cancer diagnosis was established. The patient is proposed for seriate surgery: nephroureterectomy on the first stage, then esophagectomy with gastric reconstruction was performed. Postoperative evolution was unfavourable, patient being finally discharged, on his request, with severely altered status.
