Abstract
- A 71-year-old male presented to Urology with three weeks of overt haematuria and increasing lethargy. Contrast-enhanced CT scans revealed an 8 × 6cm partially exophytic lesion in the left kidney's upper pole, extending beyond the capsule and invading the superior cortical vein, accompanied by abnormal retrocrural lymph nodes. Signs of paraneoplastic syndrome prompted a left radical nephrectomy for symptom relief. Histological analysis identified high-grade collecting duct renal carcinoma and invasive urothelial cell carcinoma. Post-surgery, he was referred for oncological treatment but passed away within two months of the initial diagnosis.
