Article Synopsis
- There have been limited reports on solitary synchronous gastric metastasis specifically from renal cell carcinomas, highlighting a gap in existing literature.
- A 70-year-old woman was diagnosed with gastric metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma after experiencing weight loss, leading to an upper GI endoscopy that revealed a submucosal tumor.
- The patient successfully underwent radical nephrectomy and endoscopic resection, demonstrating that endoscopic techniques can effectively treat early-stage gastric metastases from renal cell carcinomas with minimal invasiveness.
Objectives: To evaluate the results of retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy with transient occlusion of the renal artery for treatment of patients with small renal tumors.
Methods: From May 2002 to March 2003, 12 consecutive patients with T1N0M0 renal tumors with a median diameter of 3.0 cm underwent retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy.
