Abstract
BackgroundBilateral renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an extremely rare renal tumor, which even more infrequently presents with two different types of pathology.MethodsBilateral RCC is an extremely rare renal tumor, accounting for 3–4% of sporadic RCC. Bilateral and multifocal RCC are usually of a single histological type and infrequently of different types.ResultsCurrently, nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has become the standard for treating bilateral RCC, even for tumors greater than 4 cm. Laparoscopic NSS has developed as a minimally invasive procedure and novel technique for the treatment of RCC.ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first case to date of bilateral RCC treated with simultaneous retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery (RLNSS). Here we indicate the feasibility of this management and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.
