title: Radioactive seed localization of renal cell carcinoma in a patient with Von Hippel-Lindau disease.
abstract: This report describes the case of a patient, who had successful radioactive seed localization (RSL) performed to improve the identification and excision of a renal cell carcinoma. RSL is a new method of preoperative localization, which can ease the surgical procedure, minimize tissue trauma, and ultimately benefit the patient.
