title: Renal cell carcinoma presenting as exfoliative dermatitis (erythroderma) - a case report.
abstract: Many kinds of malignant disorders present as exfoliative dermatitis (erythroderma), however, coincident clearcell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and erythroderma has not been reported. A case of synchronous erythroderma and ccRCC in a 57-year-old man is presented presented here. After the diagnosis of the kidney bulk through CT, the patient had a transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, and the syndrome of the erythroderma disappeared after the surgery. The experience of the current patient suggests that the syndrome of erythroderma may resolve spontaneously after radical nephrotomy.
