Abstract

We report a case of renoduodenal fistula resulting from papillary renal cell carcinoma. A 72-year-old woman presented with nausea, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort. Abdominal CT, UGI and sinography revealed fistula between the right renal mass and the duodenum. Radical nephrectomy and duodenal wedge resection was performed and a friable mass with a fistula between the lower pole mass of the right kidney and second portion of the duodenum was found. Histologic evaluation for renal mass showed papillary renal cell carcinoma. We describe this case and review the previously reports of renoduodenal fistulae.
