Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) usually happens in diabetes. It is reported a correlation between the Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) with diabetes. This is a rare case of PEN and RCC in diabetes which occur simultaneously. We present a case of 51 year old male referred with right ?ank mass and medical history of diabetic disease. Renal ultrasound revealed a solid tumor at the upper pole of the right kidney. Plain abdominal X-ray showed a lot of gas, fecal material, and patches of  alcifcation in the right upper abdomen. On abdominal computed tomography found a collection of gas located in the upper right abdomen. An irregular solid tumor detected at the upper pole of the right kidney. The tumors was obtained at surgery and  emphysematous pyelonephritis was found and then nephrectomy performed. Histopathological examination revealed a Renal Cell Carcinoma besides emphysematous pyelonephritis. The patient had no postoperative serious complications during his hospital stay and his symptoms resolved completely. We report the rare case with an occurrence of EPN and RCC simultaneously in diabetes.

Abstract Background The uniqueness of this case is in its rarity and divergent presentation. Case presentation Here, we report a case of 56-year-old male patient with pain in the left flank for 1 year. On evaluation, patient was diagnosed with multiple left renal calculi and emphysematous pyelonephritis with non-functioning kidney. Intraoperatively, dense perinephric adhesions, necrotic kidney and renocolic fistula were encountered. The patient underwent left nephrectomy with resection anastomosis of descending colon segment with loop ileostomy. Histopathological examination showed a poorly differentiated high-grade clear cell carcinoma with squamous metaplasia. Conclusion Renal cell carcinoma can present in unusual ways. Sometimes, it can mimic emphysematous pyelonephritis because of fistulous communication with gut. It is rare but challenging for urologists to diagnose and manage such cases.

The prognostic role of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is still controversial. Here, we report on a patient who lived with tremendous non-progressed renal malignant tumour for eight years. The 32-year-old patient presented to our hospital with a huge renal tumour. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed a tumour 12 cm in diameter at the upper pole of the right kidney. Trans-abdominal laparoscopic right radical nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed this tumour to be a ChRCC. The phenomenon of long-term non-progressed renal malignant tumour will help us further understand the characteristics of ChRCC.

Abstract Background The objective of this study is to discuss clinical characteristics and treatments of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma on the basis of 2 cases and to review recent literature, in order to present medical advances. Methods A 29-year old male patient came to our hospital because of a huge tumour on the right kidney. Enhanced CT showed that the tumour was about 15.5*10.5 cm, and was considered to be malignant. Another case was a 38-year old female patient. She complained was found to have a right kidney tumour in a routine physical examination. Enhanced CT showed an early-stage tumour of about 4.3*3.7 cm on the lower pole of the right kidney. The male patient underwent open radical nephrectomy and the female patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and extensive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. The two patients underwent genetic testing and were diagnosed as having hereditary leiomyomatosis with renal cell carcinoma. Results The postoperative pathology in both patients revealed type 2 papillary renal cell carcinoma but with different prognosis. The male patient suffered multiple metastasis 10 months post-operation. The metastatic tumour of the abdominal wall was resected to confirm recurrence and hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma was diagnosed by the genetic test. While the female patient had a specific family history and uterine leiomyomas, the genetic test helped us to identify hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma pre-operation. Because of the early diagnosis and timely treatment, the female patient was considered to have a good prognosis. Conclusion Hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a rare hereditary disease resulting from FH gene mutation. There are currently no effective treatments.Our cases demonstrate that hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma is a very aggressive disease. Early screening and surveillance are recommended for patients with a family history or who are at risk of hereditary leiomyomatosis renal cell carcinoma. Surgical and palliative therapy still play an important role in clinical treatment.

Abstract Metastatic renal cell carcinoma with involvement through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium is very rare. We report the case of a 70-year-old male with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the right lower lobe of the lung abutting the inferior pulmonary vein with extension to the left atrium without pre-operative evidence. Surgical resection was achieved through a posterolateral thoracotomy. Lung masses that abut the pulmonary veins should prompt further investigation with a pre-operative transoesophageal echocardiogram to minimize unexpected intraoperative findings.

Cystic neoplasms of the kidney are rare, and present a unique diagnostic challenge. We report the case of an elderly male who presented with a large cystic neoplasm, which was a diagnostic dilemma clinically and radiologically. Histopathological examination showed a tumour composed of variably sized tubules lined by atypical cells having large round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Hobnailing was seen at places. Tumour cells were immunopositive for pancytokeratin, vimentin, CD10, CK19 and AMACR, confirming a diagnosis of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma (TC-RCC).
