Abstract
- Carcinoid tumors are low-grade malignant tumors arising from neuroendocrine cells. Primary renal carcinoid tumors are extremely rare, and only 56 cases have been reported in the literature. Because of the rarity of the lesion, its histogenesis and prognosis are unclear. Here we report a case of a primary renal carcinoid tumor in a 51-year-old man that was found incidentally in a medical examination and was treated by transperitoneal radical nephrectomy.
