The incidence of renal cancer has increased over the past several decades, but mortality has declined. This is thought to be related in part to earlier detection of renal masses which portend excellent 5-year survival rates. Management of small renal masses and localized disease include both nonsurgical and surgical options. The choice of intervention is ultimately based on comprehensive evaluation and shared decision-making. This article provides a comprehensive review of the current surgical management options for localized renal cancer.

Introduction: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor found in childhood.

Case Representation: Primary renal neuroblastoma has been reported in the literature as case reports. Almost all cases had a preliminary diagnosis of Wilms tumor and were diagnosed as neuroblastoma after nephrectomy.

To investigate the potential association between body mass index (BMI) and the clinicopathological features of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We retrospectively analyzed data from 2541 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for renal masses between 2013 and 2023 in a single institution. Patients were divided into normal-weight, overweight, and obese groups based on the Chinese BMI classification.

Background: Evaluating risk factors for bleeding events in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is essential for improving surgical outcomes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RAPN for renal masses between May 2019 and June 2023 at a single medical center, categorizing them into AML and non-AML groups. We assessed demographic data, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes.

A 13-year-old boy was referred to orthopedic surgery for chronic intermittent pain and swelling of the left knee. Initial imaging was consistent with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle. Follow-up imaging demonstrated unexpected progression, with a mass extending into the notch, replacing the anterior cruciate ligament, and eroding the femoral and tibial condyles.

Article Synopsis
  • The RENAL nephrometry score (RNS) is a method for assessing the complexity of kidney tumors, but it doesn't effectively predict outcomes after surgery.
  • A modified version of the RENAL score was evaluated for its ability to forecast perioperative complications in patients undergoing open partial nephrectomy for small renal masses.
  • The study included 47 patients, finding that the modified RENAL score is a useful indicator for predicting surgical risks, with a cut-off score of 8.7 linked to a higher likelihood of complications.
