A case report of one of the largest (9900 cm3) clear cell renal carcinoma removed in Asia

Abstract

Introduction: Giant renal cell carcinoma (volume more than 1000 cc) is a rare case. Management included surgical resection combined with targeted therapy. Case presentation: We reported a case of giant clear cell renal carcinoma with 9.900 cm3 of total volume, that required surgical resection of the tumor. This is the largest giant clear cell RCC reported in Asia. Discussion: Giant renal cell carcinoma management without targeted therapy was not optimal. Multimodal therapy was recommended for better outcome. Conclusion: Surgical resection of Giant RCC is challenging, for that reason targeted therapy is recommended to be the alternative regardless the outcome.
