Treatment of renal cell carcinoma in pregnancy: simultaneous nephron-sparing surgery and Caesarian section (case report).
We present a case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman with renal cell carcinoma diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestational age. Simultaneous nephron sparing surgery (NSS) and Caesarean section (CS) was performed at 33 weeks of gestation. The successful cases of radical nephrectomy performed in pregnancy have been reported earlier however, we believe this is the first case of NSS and CS performed simultaneously. This approach can be used in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
