Primary carcinoid tumor of the kidney
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 54, Issue 4
Abstract
Primary renal carcinoid tumor is an exceedingly rare neoplasm which was first reported by Rensick et al. in 1966. In a recent comprehensive review of the literature, Murali et al. and Romero et al. reviewed the literature up to 2006 and found 51 and 56 cases, respectively, reported in the literature. The pathogenesis of this tumor is uncertain because neuroendocrine cells are not found in normal adult renal parenchyma. The clinical presentation is similar to other renal tumors thus posing diagnostic dilemmas for clinicians. We report a case of primary carcinoid tumor of the right kidney in a 55-year-old male patient.
