Simultaneous resection of renal carcinoma and abdominal aortic aneurysm

Abstract

A 62-year-old man with a 6.5 cm abdominal aortic aneurysm and coexistent left renal cell carcinoma was treated by simultaneous radical left nephrectomy and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Care was taken to avoid potential infection of the bypass graft by inadvertent contamination with urine. Pathologic examination of the left kidney revealed a renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type, with no evidence of invasion into the renal vein or lymph node metastases. The patient had an uncomplicated recovery and is well and free of disease four years after operation. In cases of equivalently life threatening surgical diseases, simultaneous resection is warranted.
