Abstract

von Hippel-Lindau disease is an inherited autosomal dominant multisystem cancer syndrome. Multiple malignancies including renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occur in approximately 40%. A 69-year-old female presented with recurrent RCC in a solitary kidney, after previous partial nephrectomy and ablation. The 19-mm lesion was anterior and adherent to the descending colon, obviating percutaneous hydrodissection. A combined urology-interventional radiology procedure was performed including laparoscopic division of adhesions and mobilization of the colon, followed by direct laparoscopic and ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation. This novel approach was technically and clinically successful, which highlights the advantages of working in a multidisciplinary environment.
