A 66-yr-old man with pain and swelling in the right flank was referred to our clinic for diagnosis. In 2005, the patient Underwent a laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal cancer of the lower pole of the right kidney. A computed tomography scan revealed a 20-cm tumor in the right abdominal wall, resulting in a suspected diagnosis of port-site metastasis from the first laparoscopic operation. The patient underwent open Surgery, which confirmed the diagnosis. After the operation, the patient recovered rapidly.
