Clear cell renal carcinoma brain metastases
Treatment
Q10447
- Left ankle fracture, surgically treated.
- Breast cancer treated with surgery and radiotherapy.
- Renal neoplasm with nephrectomy.
Current Illness: - A 62-year-old patient with asthenia, headache, apathy, bradypsychia, lack of concentration, and changes in personality and behavior. A right frontal lesion measuring 5 cm and a left cerebellar lesion measuring 1 cm were identified.
Physical Examination: - Bradypsychia, left central facial paresis, mild paresis in the left arm, and positive neurological signs on the left side were observed.
Complementary Examination:
- Imaging studies: Right frontal lesion measuring 5x4x4 cm with edema, ventricular collapse, and a 1 cm lesion in the left cerebellum. Ventricular system compression and subfalcine herniation were noted.
Previous Intervention: - A craniotomy with excision of the right frontal lesion was performed.
Histopathology: - Clear cell renal carcinoma, consistent with metastasis from a known renal primary tumor.
Oncological Evolution: - Brain recurrence with lesions in the right frontal lobe and left cerebellum. Treatment with radiotherapy and radiosurgery was administered. - Systemic immunotherapy was initiated but discontinued due to complications. - Progression of brain metastases.
Treatment Plan: - Referral for postoperative radiotherapy.
Q11864
Age: 59 years Relevant Medical History: Hypertension (HTA), Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2).
Current Medications:
Bisoprolol 5mg, 1 tablet every 24 hours.
Metformin 1000mg, 1 tablet every 12 hours.
Omeprazole 20mg, 1 capsule every 24 hours.
Ferbisol (Iron) 100mg, 1 capsule every 24 hours.
Escitalopram 10mg, 1 tablet every 24 hours.
Oncological History:
Stage IV clear cell carcinoma with pulmonary metastases.
Previous treatments: Right nephroureterectomy, SBRT RADICAL TOTAL DOSE 60Gy, Nivolumab-Ipilimumab, Cabozantinib.
Clinical Presentation:
Progressive weakness and asthenia. Dizziness, instability, intense holocranial headache.
Radiological Findings:
Brain MRI: Space-occupying lesion in the right frontal lobe suggestive of brain metastasis.
TAP CT: Findings secondary to known oncological history, without significant progression signs. Postoperative Brain CT: Post-right frontal craniotomy changes without clear evidence of residual tumor. Surgical Procedure:
Craniotomy and resection of the brain tumor.
Postoperative Evolution:
Improvement of preoperative clinical status. Conscious, oriented, without new neurological focal deficits. Autonomous ambulation
Afebrile, no signs of wound infection. Postoperative images without complications or significant tumor remnants.
Management Plan:
Referral to Oncology and Radiotherapy for evaluation and management on the surgical bed. Hospital discharge with follow-up in Neurosurgery outpatient clinics. Comment: The patient has experienced a favorable evolution after the resection of the brain tumor, without significant postoperative complications. Multidisciplinary follow-up is planned to address the primary and secondary diseases.
