Papillary renal cell carcinoma with synchronous ovarian metastasis: a rare entity

Description

A 45-year-old woman presented with left-lower abdominal lump for the last 3 months. On examination, she had a palpable lump in the left iliac region, 10 cm in size, firm, non-tender and mobile. Incidentally, another lump was palpable in her left flank which was ballotable. Ultrasonography revealed the presence of a large adnexal mass and showed a concomitant left renal mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen revealed the presence of heterogeneously enhancing space occupying lesion in the mid and lower pole of the left kidney (10.6x8.8x9.0 cm) and a large heterogeneously enhancing lesion was seen in the left adnexal region (11.7x8.7x12.2 cm) (figure 1). Para-aortic lymph nodes were enlarged. Cancer antigen (CA) 125 levels were 170 U/mL.
