Synchronous Renal Cell Carcinoma and Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract

The coexistence of multiple synchronous primary malignancies is uncommon. The coexistence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is even rarer. We present a case of a 44-year-old male patient with a history of chronic hepatitis B and a right renal mass treated by radical nephrectomy. At the 2-month follow-up, a new lesion was detected in the left lobe of the liver. Postsurgery histologic evaluation with immunohistochemical study of both lesions confirmed the renal and hepatic lesions to be RCC and HCC, respectively.

A rara case of concurrent chromophobe renal cell cancer with lung neuroendocrine tumor: a case report and literature review

“…(2) histologically distinct from each other. (3) each tumour should be ruled out as a metastatic of the other 9 .…”

“…On the other hand, bronchial carcinoid tumours constitute 1–2% of all lung tumours with no difference in incidence between males and females 15 . The incidence of synchronous cancers with renal cell carcinoma has been reported to be 3.7% 9 . This percentage increases to 30–42% in studies based on autopsy findings 16 .…”

“…This percentage increases to 30–42% in studies based on autopsy findings 16 . urological cancers, oesophageal carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, breast cancer, gynaecological cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma have all been reported as subsequent primary malignancies 9 .…”

Synchronous hepatocellular carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma in young woman with sarcoidosis: A case report

“…Dac Hong et al. [6] reported 8 cases of synchronous HCC and RCC from English literature: all these patients were male, 5 had hepatitis B with or without cirrhosis; 6 of them underwent resection, while in 2 cases, the malignancies were treated with radiofrequency ablation.…”
