FERREIRO VALDES, Tadeo Miguel; HERNANDEZ CAMPO, Pedro Ricardo; RODRIGUEZ QUINONES, Juan Ramón y LEMUS SARRACINO, Agustín. Tumors in polycystic kidney disease. A case report. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.2, pp.62-68. ISSN 1561-3194.
Renal cell carcinoma is rarely found in the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The objective of this work is to present a case treated by progressive chronic renal failure in the course of ADPKD, whose patient suffers from severe complications, finding a tumor associated to ADPKD during the surgery. The surgery was performed in the service of urology at "Abel Santamaria Cuadrado" University Hospital in June 2009. The patient attended to the hospital presenting a hemorrhagic urinary and lumbar gravitational pain picture. The mucosae were hypocolored and wet. Cardiovascular system presented: cardiac sounds and tachycardia, cardiac rate: 110 x minute and BP: 190/110 mmHg. The patient was hospitalized and the treatment was indicated, the hematologic and radiographic studies showed: hematocrit (0, 40 L/L), blood glucose (4, 5 mmol-L), platelet counts (18 / 109 /L), creatinine (110 mmol/L). The electrocardiogram showed a sinus tachycardia and in the urinalysis a macroscopic hematuria was observed. Detecting in the abdominal echography an enlargement in the left kidney with multiple echolucid images and the right kidney was enlarged with echolucid images towards the superior pole with a deformity in the middle part and in the inferior pole due to an echogenic tumor of 140x100mm. The CAT scan showed: regular hypodense masses in left kidney as well as hypodense masses in the right kidney and a tumoral mass in its level. The right nephrectomy was performed confirming the diagnosis. The evolution was satisfactory and the patient was discharged from the hospital at 7 days after the surgical intervention.
