Key Takeaway

Key Takeaway: Local recurrence in renal cell carcinoma after 25 years after radical nephrectomy is very rare, but may occur in patients with a history of recurrence.

Abstract

Local recurrence after radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in about 2% cases within the first 5 years.[1] However, isolated local recurrence in RCC after 10 years is very rare. We report a case of local recurrence, twenty-five years after radical nephrectomy.
