Abstract
- Bilateral renal cell carcinoma is very rare and represents a challenge to the clinician. In the past, bilateral renal cell carcinoma indicated a poor prognosis. But recent, aggressive operative intervention with 'nephron-salvaging procedure' can improve the survival of bilateral renal cell carcinoma. We experienced two cases of bilateral renal cell carcinoma; the former was multicystic nature, well-differentiated bilateral renal cell carcinoma and the later was found incidentally during cadaver donor transplantation due to brain tumor, and it was documented Von-Hippel-Lindau`s syndrome on autopsy.
