Abstract: | A 40-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further examination of a left kidney tumor. A left kidney tumor measuring 3 cm in diameter was incidentally found by abdominal ultrasound on physical checkup. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed hypovascular tumor of the left kidney. Clinical diagnosis was left renal cell carcinoma and retroperitoneoscopic left nephrectomy was performed. However, pathological diagnosis was carcinoid tumor of the kidney. Primary carcinoid tumors of the kidney are uncommon. We present a case of primary carcioid tumor of the kidney and review the literature. |
