Abstract:
A retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the results achieved by treatment of renal tumor in 6 patients with solitary kidney. Two were treated conservatively, three were submitted to radical nephrectomy, and one patient underwent heminephrectomy. The mean follow-up was 28 months, the mortality rate was 33%, and metastasis was observed in another 33% of this patient group during follow-up.
