[Port Site Recurrence After Laparoscopic Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma --Report of Two Cases and Literature review-].

A male in his 60s underwent a left retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy procedure for a left renal tumor. The histopathological diagnosis was CCRCC, pT1aN0M0, G1, v0, with negative resection margins. At 31 months after surgery, CT revealed a 32 mm mass in the retroperitoneal cavity at the right hand port site used for the laparoscopic nephrectomy. The mass was removed with part of the twelfth rib and erector spinae muscles in a lump, and the histopathological diagnosis was CCRCC. Since that surgery, the patient has been free from recurrence for 19 months. For the treatment of solitary port site recurrence of renal cell carcinoma after a laparoscopic radical/partial nephrectomy, we recommend surgical resection for a good prognosis.
