Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is a rare, potentially fatal tumor that occasionally occurs during pregnancy. The probability of cure is directly related to the stage or degree of tumor dissemination. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment of this disease. A case of patient who was diagnosed with a renal mass in the second trimester of pregnancy is reported. She underwent left radical nephrectomy at 17 weeks’ gestation.
