Abstract: | A 25-year-old man presented to our hospital with the chief complaint of left-sided painless scrotal swelling. Varicocele was diagnosed and high ligation was performed. Two months later, he noticed asymptomatic gross hematuria. Transabdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomographic scanning showed a left renal tumor measuring more than 10 cm in diameter. Radical nephrectomy (thoraco-abdominal approach) was performed and pathological diagnosis was granular cell carcinoma (G2, pT2, INF alpha, pNX, pMX). He then received intramuscular injections of interferon-alpha 3 million units on three days per week. The frequency of renal cell carcinoma was reported to be about 1-3% for individuals in the 20s in the recent Japanese literature, and renal cell carcinoma in a young man with left varicocele is very rare. |
