Renocolic fistula following radiofrequency ablation of a renal tumor. A rare case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Data in the literature concerning fistula formation between colon and kidney are limited in no more than 50 case reports with the majority of them representing complications of bowel surgery or disease. There are sparse and limited data concerning fistula formation after urological procedures. We report a case of fistula formation between calyx and colon after RFA for kidney tumor and we review the literature about this rare entity.
