Advancement in imaging techniques has now made it possible for small renal tumors to be detected incidentally. This has led to the use of minimally invasive techniques for treatment of these cases. A 40 year-old woman was diagnosed to have a small renal mass after routine abdominal ultrasonography for epigastric discomfort. Computed tomography scan was used to characterize the mass, and an elective partial nephrectomy was successfully carried out. The procedure is safe, less morbid, and has good oncological outcome.

Case Presentation: A 55 year-old female presented to the emergency department with left sided abdominal pain and hematuria. Computed tomography scan of her abdomen and pelvis demonstrated a large left renal mass with extension into the left ureter, left renal vein, and inferior vena cava. She was admitted and treated for presumed renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Discussion: RCC may present with abdominal or flank pain and hematuria, but more commonly presents with vague symptoms. RCC should be suspected in a patient presenting with hematuria and abdominal or flank pain, especially if vague symptoms such as fatigue or anorexia are also present.

The rise in incidentally discovered enhancing solid renal tumors has spurred the development of new approaches to managing this unique clinical entity known as the small renal mass (SRM). These approaches are grounded on a better understanding of the natural history of SRM, with the goal to reduce the morbidity associated with their management and avoid overtreatment. In this chapter, we review the body of evidence pertaining to the classification and clinical management of SRMs with respect to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. In addition, we discuss the controversies and active areas of development for this rapidly evolving field that strides towards a precision medicine paradigm.  This review contains 6 figures, 6 tables and 63 references Keywords: Small renal mass, renal cell carcinoma, radical nephrectomy, renal tumor biopsy, active surveillance, natural history, oncocytoma, robotic surgery, partial nephrectomy

This is a case of a 68-year-old male who presented with a chief compliant of a testicular mass, which was discovered to be a metastatic lesion of undiagnosed renal cell carcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed a large right renal mass and multiple pulmonary metastasis. Shortly after diagnosis, the patient was initiated on systemic therapy and received a cytoreductive nephrectomy. We discuss the details of this case as well as a pertinent review of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the testes.

Abstract Metastases to the breast from extramammary tumors are rare. Several clinical, radiologic, and histologic signs can help to distinguish metastases from breast primary tumors. In the present study, we present a case of a left-sided breast metastasis from renal cancer in a 44-year-old woman whose clinical presentation was a mammary nodule in the upper internal quadrant. The patient underwent quadrantectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy. The histology revealed a clear cell carcinoma. On computed tomography scan a 5×8-cm left renal mass with pulmonary, liver, and intrapericardial nodules was found. The patient underwent palliative care and died after 4 months. Metastasis to the breast is rare, but all of those clinical, radiologic, and histologic signs more typical of extramammary malignancies should always be considered in order to choose the best treatment strategy.

Secondary Type

Primary type small bowel volvulus is observed mainly in children and young adults, whereas the secondary type is usually found between the ages of 40 and 90 years and is mainly due to adhesions after previous surgery: tumors and mesenteric lymph nodes can also be responsible for the secondary type. Diagnosis is difficult and the computed tomography scan is the most relevant imaging modality. For this reason we believe that the case presented in which diagnosis was primary made by abdominal ultrasonography and then confirmed first by computed tomography scan and definitively by surgical exploration is worth reporting.

Utero-ovarian ligament fibroids are among the rarest sites for extrauterine leiomyomas. Broad ligament fibroids are relatively common. They can be either asymptomatic or present with chronic pelvic pain and pressure symptoms. They can be confused with an ovarian mass, broad ligament cyst or a pedunculated fibroid. There are high chances of missing it clinically. Ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography scan are the imaging techniques used to diagnose such conditions, MRI being the most accurate in ruling out other broad ligament masses with suspected ovarian, tubal or isolated broad ligament cyst. Here is a rare case report of a pedunculated extrauterine leiomyoma with its origin in the utero-ovarian ligament.

Myopericytoma arising in the visceral organs is rare and only 1 case of renal myopericytoma has been reported in the literature to date. We report the second case of myopericytoma arising in the kidney in a 40-year-old Hispanic woman who presented with pain on the left side of the abdomen and frequent urination. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed an exophytic left-sided renal mass. Partial nephrectomy was performed. The patient remains free of disease at 24 months after diagnosis. Our case is histologically distinct from the previously described case as it lacks the “hemangiopericytic/glomangiopericytoma” pattern. The tumor in our case showed the characteristic pattern of myopericytoma and an additional glomus tumorlike pattern. The tumor cells showed diffuse reactivity for vimentin, smooth muscle actin, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, and muscle-specific actin in both morphologic patterns and strong diffuse CD34 expression in glomus tumorlike focus. This case report adds to the morphologic heterogeneity of myopericytomas.
