Bilateral renal tumors remain relatively uncommon, accounting for 1-5% of patients with renal cell carcinoma. Most sporadic renal cell carcinomas are unilateral and unifocal. Bilateral involvement can be synchronous or asynchronous and is found in 2-4% of sporadic renal cell carcinomas. We report a case of 70 years old male who was incidentally found to have bilateral renal masses. Right sided radical nephrectomy and left partial nephrectomy was performed. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed clear cell carcinoma and confirmed R0 resection. The patient was discharged on 7th postoperative day.

Objective: To evaluate renal function (GFR) after radical nephrectomy compared to partial nephrectomy in stage T1 renal cell carcinoma patients between 2005 and 2015. Material and Method: Retrospective chart review of 409 patients who were diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (T1) and treated with radical nephrectomy (RN) or partial nephrectomy (PN) between 2005 and 2015 (RN=136, PN=92); 228 patients with pathologically confirmed pT1 remained for analysis and were then evaluated for their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after the surgery. Results: There were a total of 228 (149 males and 79 females) T1 RCC patients; 136 patients were T1a with RN (57.8%) and 92 with PN (42.2%). Median follow-up was 58 months and 35 months for the RN and PN groups. From the analysis, post-operative eGFR of the RN group was decreased from 77.49 to 59.61 ml/min/1.73m2 and the PN group was decreased from 78.85 to 69.9 ml/min/1.73m2. The comparative eGFR between the 2 groups at 1 month had a significant difference (p-value<0.05). eGFR at 3 months (50.24 in RN vs 64.67 in PN), 6 months (47.98 vs 64.51), 3 years (48.79 vs 67.22) and 5 years (52.63 vs 73.59) were also significantly altered between the 2 groups. The tumor recurrence rate was not significantly different between RN and PN. Conclusion: We found that patients treated with PN had superior post-operative renal function compared with RN. However, there was no difference in the tumor recurrence rate between the 2 groups after a follow-up of 10 years.
