Abstract

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) coincidence is considered a rare phenomenon. Moreover, the inflammatory nature of aneurysm increases the rarity of the case.

Presentation Of Case: Our case was a 66-year-old man complaining of constant abdominal pain with a periumbilical pulsatile mass on examination. The computerized tomography angiography revealed a 67*41*44 mm AAA and a 52*43 mm renal mass.

Clinical Discussion: Not only choosing the most appropriate treatment is critical when two life-threatening diseases coexist in the same patient but also avoiding from any injury to adjacent organs while releasing fibrotic adhesions due to inflammatory process makes the case more challenging.

Conclusion: The preset study describes the successful one-stage and open surgery for treatment of simultaneous IAAA and RCC.
