Case ReportIn August 2004, a 76-year-old patient was referred to our hospital for progressive loss of appetite, accompanied with mild upper abdominal distention, pain, hiccups and dyspepsia over a recent 3 months period. Reviewing his disease history showed that 16 months before admission (April 2003), he was diagnosed with a recurring left renal clear cell cancer (immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells were positive for CK and Vim, but negative for SMA, HMB-45 and HHF-35, Fig. 1) 10 years after a nephrectomy due to a right renal cancer. At that time, he was treated with photodynamic therapy followed by bio-immunotherapy(interleukine-2 plus lymphokine-activated killer cells). Follow-up by an abdominal CT scan every 3 months showed significant regression of the left renal carcinoma.
