Abstract:
A 64-year-old man with a chief complaint of an asymptomatic abdominal mass was diagnosed as having a renal cell carcinoma in his L-shaped kidney. He was successfully treated with partial nephrectomy following selective embolization of the feeder artery. It is thought to be the first reported case of renal cell carcinoma occurring in an L-shaped kidney.
