Abstract

Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are a rare condition; however, the coexistence of an RAA with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is extremely rare. The present study reports the case of a patient found to simultaneously have an operable RAA and RCC. The patient was treated by radical nephrectomy. Surgical intervention for RAA is controversial, and the appropriate treatment for RCC with RAA has not been well characterized and requires further study. The present study reports the examination of a patient with coexisting RAA and RCC and suggests possible treatments for this condition. In addition, a review of the English literature investigating the association of RCC with RAA is presented.
