Renal Tumor in Pregnancy: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

The authors present their renal tumor cases observed during pregnancy and review the literature related to this topic. Between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2015, altogether 3 patients were treated for renal tumor during pregnancy. Two of them had surgery performed during pregnancy, while in the other, premature birth of the baby preceded surgery. In the first case, a laparoscopic tumor resection was performed in the 29th week of the patient's pregnancy. In the second case, a transperitoneal radical nephrectomy was carried out during the 10th week of pregnancy. In the case of the third patient, a caesarean section was performed during the 32nd week of gestation, and then followed later by surgery for the metastatic renal tumor. However, the tumor was found to be inoperable.
