Noninfectious pneumonitis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma treated with everolimus.

摘要

A 62-year-old nonsmoking woman named M.B. presented with right upper quadrant pain. An abdominal ultrasound revealed an incidental finding of a large renal mass in her left kidney. She underwent a hand-assisted laparoscopic left nephrectomy for a 7.5 cm tumor (T2 [tumor more than 7 cm], Fuhrman grade 3, clear-cell renal cell carcinoma [RCC]) with negative surgical margins; the renal vein was disease-free. Postoperative care included routine surveillance with computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis every six months.
