Summary

Introduction

Bilateral synchronous renal cell carcinoma is a rare entity, with an estimated incidence of 1 and 5% of all sporadic cases [1]. Synchronous bilateral renal and prostate cancer are a rare finding, some reports are found in the literature. The aim of this case report is to present and discuss some of this data. Being a high risk prostate cancer case, with two asymptomatic renal lesions, a differential diagnosis between primary and secondary lesions had to be made, the option of performing a percutaneous CT-guided renal biopsy, and the right kidney lesion was chosen due to easier access.

Carcinoma and a high risk prostate cancer on a young patient demanded a plan of action. One year after diagnosis the patient has good clinical and laboratory outcomes, with undetectable PSA (
