摘要
Intrapulmonary lymph node metastasis occuring after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma is a particular recurrence modality. Authors report two mate patients presenting with this recurrence 2 and 4 years after treatment of the primary and who underwent surgery. Surgery confirmed the diagnosis and demonstrated station 7 minimal metastases and positive pleural lavage cytology in both patients. The first patient survived 2 years and the second was alive disease free at 33 months follow-up. Such metastases probably originate from the thoracic duct. Resection confirms the diagnosis and may be part of the treatment. (c) 2007 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
