[Retrovesical recurrence of renal cell carcinoma 14 years after laparoscopic nephrectomy: a case report].

We present the case of a 70-year-old patient with a solitary recurrence of a clear renal cell carcinoma in retrovesical location after a relapse-free survival of 14 years. We performed cystoprostatectomy with an ileal conduit, resecting the tumour completely (in sano). The long-term prognosis of the patient cannot be estimated as yet.Despite the fact that a solitary and very late recurrence of a renal cell carcinoma in retrovesical location is extremely rare, late recurrence is a specific characteristic of renal cell carcinoma. Therefore, long-term follow-up for at least 15 years is required. Curative surgical resection is the treatment of choice for such late solitary recurrences.
