Abstract

Herein, a rare case of port site metastasis, following a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in a 62-years old male patient with a stage pT2N0M0 and Fuhrman grade III renal cell carcinoma, is reported. The patient suffered port site metastasis, with local recurrence. The port site metastasis was incidentally found in the patient during the laparoscopic examination for a laparoscopic mass resection of a local recurrent tumor. The most important appropriate surgical techniques are those where the port site metastasis can be controlled.
