Partial nephrectomy is suitable for specific renal cell carcinoma cases. Advanced imaging is crucial for identifying synchronous lesions and distinguishing recurrence from multicentric disease.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Partial nephrectomy is a standard treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in patients with specific indications.
  • Preoperative imaging is essential for candidate selection and surgical planning.
  • Reported local recurrence rates after partial nephrectomy range from 9% to 13%.

Observation:

  • A 65-year-old male with a history of colon carcinoma presented with a 3 cm left lower pole renal mass.
  • During planned partial nephrectomy, unexpected synchronous ipsilateral upper pole and numerous cortical lesions were discovered.
  • These findings contrasted with extensive preoperative imaging assessments.

Findings:

  • Preoperative imaging may underestimate the extent of synchronous renal masses.

  • Advanced imaging techniques, including thinner CT slices and additional planes, are necessary.
  • Integrating renal ultrasound can improve the detection of ipsilateral synchronous lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Enhanced imaging protocols are needed for accurate preoperative assessment in partial nephrectomy candidates.
    • Improved detection of multicentric disease can refine surgical planning and patient management.
    • This case highlights the importance of meticulous intraoperative inspection and advanced imaging for RCC.
