An etiological assessment of a deep vein thrombosis led to the discovery of a renal tumor collision: Case report.

INTRODUCTION AND

IMPORTANCE

The thromboembolic complication of kidney's tumor is rare, and they can be the reason for the discovery of those tumor. Also the collision kidney tumor, such as a simultaneous occurrence of different histological types of adjacent neoplasms in the same organ is rare.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report a patient diagnosed with a kidney tumor discovered in the context of an etiological assessment of thrombosis, presenting with pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb. This tumor treated by a cytoreductive nephrectomy. The histologic diagnosis of PRCC (Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma) associated with a chromophobe cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid component was rendered.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The development of the tumor process and its progression to the metastatic stage is largely favored by the hypercoagulable state, and the cancer itself promotes the appearance of thrombo-enmbolic phenomena due to this phenomenon. Two major studies recommend that immediate cytoreductive nephrectomy should be offered to metastatic patients with a good general condition.

CONCLUSION

A renal tumor collision is rare, whereas the risk factors for a renal tumor collision are the same as a renal tumor without collision, just as the management of a metastatic renal tumor is the same. Understanding the thromboembolic physiopathology in the case of kidney cancer has made it possible to optimize management.
