“…Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a relatively rare presentation of RCC. RCC accounts for only 2 % of primary neoplasms that metastasize to the peritoneum [1]. Although the ascitic fluid cytology exam was negative in this case, we nevertheless suspected a malignant etiology from the characteristics of the ascitic fluid because the vast majority (82.8 %) of patients have a SAAG of less than 1.1, and cytological examination of ascitic fluid is highly specific and its diagnostic sensitivity is only about 40-60 % [5].…”

A case of advanced renal cell carcinoma with peritoneal carcinomatosis responding to sorafenib therapy

Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a relatively rare presentation of renal cell carcinoma. We report the case of an advanced renal cell carcinoma patient with peritoneal carcinomatosis who received sorafenib and achieved a dramatic and ongoing response in the metastatic lesion. After 6 months of sorafenib administration, despite a CT scan showing a stable left renal mass, the patient had marked shrinkage of the peritoneal nodules and ascites had disappeared. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing therapeutic activity of sorafenib against peritoneal carcinomatosis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma.

“…Involvement of the peritoneal surface may induce ascites which facili tates further intraperitoneal spread by deposition of ma lignant cells into peritoneal reflections where ascites col lects. (2) Embolic hematogenous métastasés may reach omentum, mesentery, or other peritoneal organs with sub sequent intraperitoneal spread [7], In our case the exact mechanism of peritoneal spread is unknown.…”

A 59-year-old man was admitted with a large amount of ascites, cake-like omental thickening, and dialysis-associated acquired cystic disease of the kidney (ACDK). It was difficult to detect renal cancer, which was revealed as a primary site of peritoneal metastases by autopsy, with conventional cross-sectional imaging, such as enhanced computed tomography and T2, T1, and dynamic gadoliniumenhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, because multiple renal cysts caused marked distortion of the renal parenchyma and the cancer had necrosis. We demonstrated the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging with a high b-factor to detect renal cancer presenting with peritoneal metastasis in a patient with ACDK.
