Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is associated with multiple recurrences and a young age at diagnosis. Therefore the primary goal of treatment is to stabilize the disease, minimizing the surgical resection and preserving the renal function in the patients with VHL who have developing RCC nodules after initial treatment. This is the first case report of VHL disease, with long-term stable disease, treated with a half dose of sorafenib after surgical resection and radiofrequency ablation for multiple recurrent stage T1 masses. We discuss the efficacy and safety of low-dose sorafenib treatment and review RCC in a patient with VHL disease.
