Renal carcinoma: about a case
Keywords:
Renal carcinoma, Renal colic, Hematuria, NephrectomyAbstract
Introduction: renal carcinomas represent between 2 and 3 % of malignant tumors in adults, seventh in men and ninth in women. In the latter, they often go unnoticed, with up to 50 % occurring incidentally and in asymptomatic patients.
Objective: to present the case of a patient with right renal carcinoma.
Case presentation: the case of a 57-year-old male patient is presented, who came to the hospital with long-standing pain in the right lumbar fossa, now of renal colic type, hematuria, and with a palpable abdominal mass. In the clinical and complementary examinations carried out, the presence of a right renal carcinoma was confirmed, which required surgical treatment (right nephrectomy).
Conclusions: the adequate application of the clinical method, with a correct interrogation, added to the findings in the physical examination, the imaging study and the exclusion of differential diagnoses, constitute fundamental pillars for the diagnosis of renal carcinoma, since it can manifest itself variable form and the classic signs are frequently absent, making it essential to have a high index of suspicion.Downloads
