Primary neuroendocrine neoplasms of the kidney: a case report and literature review
2023
Overview
Primary kidney neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare renal malignancies. However, detecting and monitoring neuroendocrine neoplasms remains challenging because of their nonspecific nature. We herein present a case involving a 53-year-old woman who experienced episodes of intermittent abdominal pain, dizziness, and nausea for a period of 5 days. Computed tomography urography revealed a small (approximately 19- × 16-mm) nodular shadow in the left kidney. The nodular shadow exhibited slightly lower density than the surrounding tissue as well as enhancement, with a portion protruding into the renal sinus region. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses of the biopsy specimen from the mass indicated a well-differentiated NET. After analysis of this case, we performed a literature review and herein discuss various techniques for imaging and pathological diagnosis of renal NETs. Additionally, we provide insights into the treatment options and prognosis for affected patients. By combining this case study with the existing published literature, we aim to offer a valuable reference for clinicians treatment patients diagnosed with renal NETs.
