We report on a HIV-positive patient in whom laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery has been performed. A 47-year-old white male referred for evaluation and treatment of an asymptomatic, serendipitously discovered renal mass. The patient underwent a laparoscopic tumorectomy; indications, surgical technique and rationale are described in detail.
