Malignancies of rectum and kidneys are common pathologies in clinical practice; however, the incidence of these malignancies coexisting together is unclear. The main purpose of this article was to show the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing these rare synchronous tumors. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the rectum in a 57-year-old male patient who came for staging workup of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the left kidney. To our knowledge, this is the first case of synchronous RCC and rectal neuroendocrine carcinoma coexisting in the same patient.
直肠癌和肾癌是临床实践中常见的病理类型;然而,这两种恶性肿瘤同时存在的发生率尚不清楚。本文的主要目的是展示计算机断层扫描(CT)在诊断这些罕见的同步性肿瘤中的作用。我们报告了一例57岁男性患者的直肠神经内分泌癌病例,该患者前来进行左肾肾细胞癌(RCC)的分期检查。据我们所知,这是首例同一患者同时存在同步性RCC和直肠神经内分泌癌的病例。
