AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case is reported where renal cell carcinoma (RCC) developed in the retroperitoneal space after a nephrectomy performed for inflammatory kidney disease.
- A 63-year-old woman discovered a left retroperitoneal mass years after her kidney surgery; imaging revealed three masses which were surgically removed.
- Post-surgery pathology confirmed the masses were RCC, but the patient remained cancer-free for 11 years without additional treatment, emphasizing the need for awareness of RCC in similar cases.
Article Abstract
Background: Cases of severe inflammatory renal disease and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that occur simultaneously in the same kidney have been occasionally reported. However, extrarenal RCC that does not originate from the native kidney has rarely been reported. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of RCC developing in the ipsilateral retroperitoneal space after a simple nephrectomy (SN) for inflammatory renal disease.
Case Summary: A 63-year-old woman was referred to our hospital following the incidental discovery of a left retroperitoneal mass without specific symptoms. Her medical history revealed a left SN 27 years ago due to a renal abscess. Magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen revealed three oval masses in the left retroperitoneum. The masses were successfully excised, and subsequent pathology confirmed papillary RCC. After surgery, the patient remained disease-free for 11 years without adjuvant therapy.
Conclusion: Clinicians should be vigilant of RCC in patients with retroperitoneal masses, especially after SN for inflammatory renal disease.

Background: Calcification of the radial artery is one of the main causes of anastomotic stenosis in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas in uremic patients. However, the pathogenesis of calcification is still unknown. This study attempted to screen and validate the risk factors for vascular calcification in patients with uremia.

Background: Chronic inflammation is well recognized as a key factor related to renal function deterioration in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in amplifying inflammation. With respect to NET-related genes, the aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of DKD progression and therefore identify potential intervention targets.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).
Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.

This narrative review explores the benefits and risks of cannabinoids in kidney health, particularly in individuals with pre-existing renal conditions. It discusses the roles of cannabinoid receptor ligands (phytocannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, and endocannabinoids) in kidney physiology. The metabolism and excretion of these substances are also highlighted, with partial elimination occurring via the kidneys.
