Simultaneous diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma with pelvic malignancies is rare but a well-documented phenomenon. It is not uncommon to have incidental renal masses on imaging done for investigating other tumors. There are no established guidelines for the treatment of patients with dual malignancies. The management of such patients is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. We present a series of three cases with a diagnosed pelvic malignancy but further workup revealed a kidney tumor. Both the malignancies were evaluated individually and diagnosed as two different primary neoplastic lesions. This case series examines each distinct patient's presentation, discusses the diagnosis, and compares and contrasts the findings while discussing the literature on this topic.
同时诊断出肾细胞癌和盆腔恶性肿瘤的情况较为罕见，但却是有充分文献记载的现象。在为排查其他肿瘤而进行的影像学检查中偶然发现肾脏肿块的情况并不少见。对于患有双重恶性肿瘤的患者，目前尚无既定的治疗指南。此类患者的管理具有挑战性，需要多学科方法。我们报告了一系列三例病例，患者被诊断患有盆腔恶性肿瘤，但进一步检查发现了肾脏肿瘤。两种恶性肿瘤均分别进行了评估，并被诊断为两种不同的原发性肿瘤病变。本病例系列研究了每位患者的独特表现，讨论了诊断情况，并在讨论该主题的文献时对研究结果进行了比较和对比。
