ABSTRACT
The case is presented of a woman in her 60s with renal cell carcinoma in a solitary kidney with normal renal function. Because of the solitary kidney status, the management strategy described in acknowledged guidelines was not possible. The patient was treated with standard first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor followed by percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation. Before and after the procedure the patient had normal kidney function. The treatment resulted in local cancer control, but a bone metastasis developed in the thoracic part of the spine.
