“…3 Walker and Knight reviewed the presentation of renal cell carcinoma during pregnancy and found that the commonest presenting symptoms of such tumour were a palpable mass (88%), pain (50%), haematuria (47%), and hypertension (18%). 4 A subsequent review has suggested that there has been a change in the presentation of renal cell carcinoma in pregnant women, with diagnosis now more frequently made incidentally during ultrasound examination performed for other reasons, 5 as happened in this case.…”

ABSTRACT:Renal cell carcinoma is uncommon during the reproductive phase of a woman. Diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma during pregnancy is usually delayed because it is asymptomatic in most cases and a complete ultrasound of abdomen is not a part of routine obstetric evaluation. Although radical nephrectomy is the definitive treatment of choice in renal cell carcinoma, the exact timing of surgery is controversial. Management of renal cell carcinoma during pregnancy requires multidisciplinary approach. We report a case of a second gravida presenting with a renal mass during the first trimester with a blighted ovum.

“…Though it is a rare entity in pregnancy, it is the commonest of all the renal tumor occurring in pregnancy; the incidence being in 1 in 1000 cases. 4 Literature search up to 2013 revealed that only 102 cases of renal malignancies have been reported so far, out of which 86 cases were renal adenocarcinoma. 5 Smoking, obesity and hypertension are high risk factors for this condition.…”

“…It seems from the literature review that the maternal and fetal prognosis is good and the results are comparable with non pregnant women with RCC. 4 Therefore few factors are taken into consideration while deciding the timing of surgery. First of all, it is known that the mean cell doubling time for an RCC is longer than 72 weeks.…”

Background: Trauma to urinary bladder is the commonest cause of haematuria in repeat lower segment caesarean section. However, recurrent post op haematuria draws the attention to other aetiologies. Case: A 27 year old lady, G2P1L1, post caesarean pregnancy at term gestation, underwent elective caesarean section and tubectomy. She developed haematuria in perioperative period in episodic manner. Abdominal and pelvic ultrasound revealed a solid mass lesion in the upper pole of right kidney of size 5.8x4.6mm, which was confirmed by CECT of abdomen to be renal cell carcinoma. She was managed with radical nephrectomy in the urology centre without any adverse event. This rare presentation of the case and its successful management, prompted us to present this case with available literatures review.
