This study reports the first case of a primary renal carcinoid tumor involving the inferior vena cava. Surgical excision is a successful treatment for localized kidney carcinoid tumors, even those extending into the vena cava.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Carcinoid tumors are rare in the kidneys, typically originating in the gastrointestinal or respiratory tracts.
  • Primary renal carcinoid tumors are exceptionally uncommon, with limited published cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the first documented case of a primary renal carcinoid tumor involving the inferior vena cava.
  • To review the literature on diagnosis and prognosis of renal carcinoid tumors.
  • To highlight surgical management options for localized renal carcinoid tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a 58-year-old female patient.
  • Surgical intervention: open radical nephrectomy with cavotomy and thrombectomy.
  • Literature review on carcinoid tumors of the kidney.

Main Results:

  • Successful surgical excision of a primary renal carcinoid tumor involving the inferior vena cava.
  • Detailed description of the tumor's presentation, investigations, and pathology.
  • Discussion of diagnostic criteria and prognostic factors.

Conclusions:

  • Primary renal carcinoid tumors, including those involving the inferior vena cava, are rare but treatable.
  • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for localized renal carcinoid tumors.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can lead to successful outcomes.
