ABSTRACT

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.
