Abstract
ABSTRACT
The synchronous occurrence of primary renal cell carcinoma with gastric cancer is
very rare. We report a case of 41 year old male who presented on 05/07/2011 to
M S Ramaiah hospital, Bangalore with history of fever, pain abdomen and malena.
Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis showed large heterogenous mass arising from
the upper pole of left kidney. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed
left renal cell carcinoma. Renal biopsy showed features consistent with renal
cell carcinoma – clear cell type. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed gastric
polypoidal growth. Gastric biopsy from the growth revealed poorly differentiated
adenocarcinoma of stomach. We report this case to highlight a rare occurrence of
synchronous malignancy of stomach and kidney.
