[Renal cell carcinoma in von Hippel-Lindau disease. Nephron sparing surgery.].

Objectives: We reviewed the feasibility and safety of nephron sparing surgery for renal cell carcinoma in patients with von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease.

Methods: We selected 22 patients with (VHL) disease with a mean age of 43 (range 30-56), from whom 16 underwent radical nephrectomy or nephron sparing surgery at our department between 2000 and 2015.

Results: A total of 33 tumors were treated, by either tumorectomy (n=20), partial nephrectomy (n=5), percutaneous renal radiofrequency ablation (n=3) edaor radical nephrectomy (n=5).
