A case of a 12 cm @entity8 (RAA) in an 59-year-old @entity1 is reported. The @entity1 was referred to our hospital for @entity812 and spot @entity811 . Ultrasonography (US) revealed some wide lacunar areas in her right kidney and a thin cortex. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) revealed a giant right @entity8 ( @entity2758 ). AngioCT scan showed a pervious right renal artery. The cavities of the right kidney were dilated and the parenchyma was markedly reduced. Two months later the @entity1 underwent an open resection of the @entity439 and a right nephrectomy. She had an uneventful recovery and a healthy status (last follow-up: 9 month). In this particular case, a safe approach is the transabdominal approach since the @entity439 was very large, friable, and located on the right side. This report confirms the opportunity of a planned nephrectomy once there is adequate renal reserve in the opposite kidney using a midline approach.
