Abstract
|
|
|
|
Small cell carcinoma was first described in the lung, and extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma has been reported at sites throughout the body. Small cell carcinoma of the genitourinary tract has more commonly been reported to arise from the urinary bladder. Small cell carcinoma of the kidney is extremely rare, rapidly progressive and lethal. Most of the reported cases have occurred in relatively old age people. We report here on a case of primary small cell carcinoma of the kidney in a young male, and this was managed via radical nephrectomy and cisplatin-based chemotherapy. (Korean J Urol 2007;48:552-554)
