Abstract
We present a case of a patient who took part in a prospective sentinel lymph node (SN) study to investigate the drainage pattern from renal tumors. The patient was treated with laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, for a clinically node negative left renal tumor of 6 cm combined with SN and non-SN lymph node dissection. Histopathologic examination revealed a papillary type 2 pT1b renal cell carcinoma with 2 para-aortic metastatic SNs. No adjuvant treatment was applied. The patient is free of disease at 63 months after surgery.
