60-year-old female with a left renal mass discovered in June 2000, during the course of a
post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy sonographic control. The CT scan confirmed the presence of a 4 cm mass
in the left kidney. A left radical nephrectomy with para-aortic lymphadenectomy was carried out in
October 2000. Gross examination revealed a 3.8x3.5x2.8 cm well-circumscribed solid brown mass in the
renal cortex. The renal capsule, pelvis, renal vessels, adrenal gland and lymph nodes were free of
tumor.
In a follow-up control carried out in February 2002, a mediastinal mass was detected in the chest x-ray,
resulting in compression and anterior displacement of the trachea. The thyroid gland was not involved.
This mass was biopsied.
The sections submitted are from the renal tumor removed in 2000.
