Background. The association of renal cell carcinoma and Kartagener’s syndrome is unusual, and only eleven cases have been reported in the literature. The purpose of this work is to analyze this unusual association of Kartagener’s syndrome and renal cell tumor and to study the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects through our observation and review of the literature. Case Presentation. We report the case of a 50-year-old patient, with a history of recurrent respiratory infections, in whom a renal tumor was simultaneously diagnosed with Kartagener’s syndrome, represented by situs inversus, bronchiectasia, and chronic sinusitis. The patient was treated by partial nephrectomy, and the histological examination showed a clear cell carcinoma. Through this observation and a review of the literature, we try to analyze this association as well as the main diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Conclusion. The association of situs inversus and renal cell carcinoma is very rare—preoperative assessment and anatomy knowledge are crucial for a better adaptation of the surgical technique.

We present a case of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) arising in a 26-year-old patient with a history of neuroblastoma. RCC after a previous diagnosis of neuroblastoma is very uncommon, and there have only been 23 reported cases. Using the results of our patient workup, we hoped to determine whether there was a genetic predisposition or iatrogenic cause for the RCC. There is no clear explanation why neuroblastoma survivors are prone to developing RCC. However, genetic predisposition and previous treatment likely play a role. Since there have been few cases described, and few investigations into the genetics of this subtype of RCC, it remains important for individual cases to be added to the literature of this recently described and rare entity.

Image Reversal

Situs inversus, an uncommon mirror-image reversal of the major visceral and thoracic organs, is seldom of medical significance. However, the recognition of their unique anatomy is extremely important for those requiring surgical intervention. There are very few reported cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) developing in people with situs inversus. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in Canada. A review of the literature only identified nine published cases worldwide. Here, we review and summarize pertinent information, including patient age and sex, size and location of tumour, method of surgery, and pathology. Our case, a 65-yearold male, presented with left flank pain and gross hematuria. He was diagnosed with left renal cancer as well as tumour thrombus extending into the left renal veins and inferior vena cava (IVC), clinical T3aN0M0. An abdomen and pelvis computed tomography (CT) scan showed a left-to-right reversal of his organs, a mirrorimage, and situs inversus was diagnosed. A left radical nephrectomy with left renal vein and IVC tumour thrombectomy through a left open midline incision was performed.

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are known for their unpredictable metastatic pattern. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman who initially presented in 1992 with a metastasis in the left calcaneus that led to the discovery of RCC. In 1998, a new metastasis was found in the ovary. In 2008, the diagnosis of a gallbladder metastasis was made. All metastases were surgically removed; no additional systemic therapies were used. Aggressive surgical treatment can prolong the survival of patients with resectable metastases. Patterns of metastasis are discussed, and a brief review of the literature is given regarding each localization.

Intradural spinal metastasis is rare. This is the third case ever reported on the finding of intradural spinal metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma that had been removed surgically. The patient had a history of epidural metastasis for which excision and anterior stabilization were done 3 years before the new presentation with cauda equina lesion. Seeding from the involved osseous structure to the cerebrospinal fluid through the dura was believed to be the course that tumour had taken to reach the intradural space.
