Renal carcinoid tumor with liver metastasis followed up postoperatively for 9 years

Abstract: BackgroundWe describe a case of renal carcinoid tumor with liver metastasis followed up postoperatively for 9 years.Case presentationA 33-year-old man presented with left flank dull ache. On the abdominal computed tomography, a solid renal mass in the upper portion of the left kidney was detected. The patient had no other abnormal findings, such as suspected distant metastasis or lymph node metastasis. Radical nephrectomy was performed on 14/9/2005. Histological examination and immunohistochemical staining con… Show more

“…Well-differentiated NET of renal is a relatively low-grade malignancy, but it often occurs local invasion, lymph node and distant metastasis. In our study, seven cases (24.1%, 7/29) had local renal sinus, 16 , 20 , 21 perirenal fat and nerve invasion; eight cases (27.6%, 8/29) had lymph nodes metastasis; 6 , 16 , 17 , 21 , 27 and nine cases (31%, 9/29) had distant metastasis, 6 , 7 , 13 , 14 , 16 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 26 including five (17.2%, 5/29) cases of liver metastasis 6 , 7 , 14 , 16 , 26 and three cases (10.3%, 3/29) of lung metastasis. 6 , 21 , 25 In addition, the tumor can metastasize to bone, 6 contralateral kidney and adrenal, 13 eye, 14 pancreas, 21 , 25 thyroid, skin, 13 renal vein and inferior vena cava.…”

“…14 Very few reports have shown metastasis with long-term follow-up. 10, 11, 18, 19 As most of the literature shows small case series, the management and prognosis are unclear. The primary treatment of localized renal neuroendocrine tumors is excision either radical or partial nephrectomy.…”
