Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 2-3% of all cancers. Although RCC is rare, it is the most common urologic malignancy reported in pregnancy. Modality and timing of treatment during pregnancy represent a dilemma. A 37-year pregnant woman at 12th gestational week was referred by the obstetrician. MRI showed exophytic, heterogeneous renal mass of 50x48x45 mm, located in the lower pole of right kidney, which was interpreted as RCC. The patient underwent retroperitoneal open partial nephrectomy (PN). Operation time was 47 minutes with zero ischemia time. Obstetrics consultation confirmed survival of fetus after surgery. The patient was discharged on the third day, uneventfully. Histopathological examination revealed stage 1b clear-cell renal carcinoma, Furhman grade 2 with maximum diameter of 5 cm, no invasion of capsule, negative margine and without necrosis. Open techniques are better in pregnant patients with renal tumors because of short surgical and ischemia time and minimal bleeding.

Purpose: To perform a nationwide analysis of ablation compared to partial and total nephrectomy for the management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to evaluate utilization trends and disparities in the USA.
Materials And Methods: The 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample was analyzed. Using ICD-10, we identified the diagnosis of RCC then analyzed the utilization trends of ablation and nephrectomies (both partial and complete).

We introduce a 39-year-old man with an exceedingly large adrenal schwannoma who visited our outpatient department with epigastric pain and a palpable mass in the left upper abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a giant cystic lesion measuring >25 cm. Laparotomy was performed for tumor excision and partial nephrectomy.

Wilms' tumor (WT), also known as nephroblastoma, is a malignant embryonal kidney tumor composed of embryonic cells and is the most prevalent tumor among children, but isolated cases occur infrequently in the adult population. Adult WT is defined according to the criteria of Kilton, Matthews, and Cohen, which comprise age above 15 years and histological patterns characteristic of WT. We report a case of an adult WT with venous thrombus on an incomplete duplex collecting system.
