| Summary: | A sixty-years-old
male with diagnosis of a left adrenal mass
(146×99×126 mm) with associated tumour thrombosis of the
left renal vein with no clear signs of thrombosis of the inferior
vena cava was admitted for elective surgery Finally an adrenalectomy and excision of tumour
thrombus preserving the ipsilateral kidney was made. Despite of
the complex vascular management, this kind of approaches allow to
preserve normal renal function in patients with future
nephrotoxic treatment like cisplatin. |
