Primary renal neuroendocrine carcinomas (RNC) are extremely rare urological neoplasms, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. There are no established protocols concerning diagnosis and treatment, and there is no definitive data on prognosis. Here, we report the findings of a 54-year-old woman who presented with intermittent back pain due to a large mass, which was initially suspected to be a renal cell or upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The patient underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy and lymph node dissection without complications. Pathology revealed an RNC with local metastases to para-aortic lymph nodes without evidence of another primary origin. Subsequent surveillance showed no evidence of disease until 48-month follow-up imaging revealed a liver lesion suspicious for possible metastatic cancer. This report represents the second documented usage of robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy for RNC and the longest follow-up in the literature. We review the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with RNC.

“…Because neuroendocrine cells are not typical of normal renal parenchyma, primary renal carcinoid tumors (PRCTs) are exceedingly rare; however, these tumors remain well-differentiated [ 4 ]. Currently, less than 100 such cases have been reported in the entire available literature [ 5 - 7 ]. When these tumors occur, the ability to metastasize is low.…”

Renal carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare. These neuroendocrine masses are most frequently found in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. A renal carcinoid tumor has only been documented in around 100 cases. In this article, we report two additional cases in female patients ages 53 and 63. Both tumors were found incidentally on computed tomography scans. Both women underwent radical nephrectomies. Neither has shown evidence of metastasis nor relapse to date; however, the 63-year-old woman was lost to follow-up. In conclusion, upon discovery of the asymptomatic renal mass, renal carcinoid should be a consideration in the differentiation, and if suspected, may be treated with radical nephrectomy as was done in our hospital.
