Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics, management and outcome of renal cell carcinoma [RCC] and its variants in patients treated at CMH Peshawar, from Aug 2011 to Aug 2014
Study Design: Retrospective descriptive
Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital [CMH] Peshawar, from Aug 2011 to Aug 2014
Material and Methods: All patients who underwent nephrectomy for renal masses at our institution between Aug 2011 and Aug 2014 were included in the study. The demographic distribution, symptoms, tumour characteristics, operative findings and histopathology reports were extracted from the hospital records and analysed via SPSS version 20.0
Results: Among 27 patients male to female ratio was 1.25:1. Mean age was 55.5 +/- 11.7 years. Flank pain was the commonest symptom reported. Mean maximum diameter of the tumour was 13.6 +/- 4.6 cm. All the tumours were malignant and most common histopathological type was conventional/clear cell RCC. All patients were treated by radical nephrectomy through transperitoneal approach. One patient developed post operative thrombosis of inferior vena cava. Two patients developed metastatic deposit during follow up
Conclusion: Renal tumours in the study population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at our centre presented late with large sizes, and incidental diagnosis is rare. Health education and availability of advanced diagnostic facilities will improve outcomes
