Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary carcinoid tumors of the kidney are exceptionally rare.
  • Carcinoid tumors typically arise from neuroendocrine cells in other organs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a primary carcinoid tumor of the kidney.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of this rare entity.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 52-year-old woman with a kidney mass.
  • Surgical management including radical nephrectomy and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
  • Histopathological examination of the resected tumor and lymph nodes.

Main Results:

  • A 4-cm typical carcinoid tumor was identified in the left kidney.
  • One out of 17 resected lymph nodes showed metastatic carcinoid tumor.
  • The patient had no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at 7-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Primary renal carcinoid tumors, though rare, can occur in the kidney.
  • Surgical resection is a primary treatment modality.
  • Favorable short-term outcomes are possible with complete resection and appropriate staging.
