DUODENORENAL FISTULA IN A PATIENT WITH RENAL MALIGNANCY
Duodenorenal fistulas consist of anomalous communication between the renal collecting system and the duodenum. They are rare entities, with few cases reported in the literature. They can affect the upper or lower urinary tract, the female reproductive system, the intestinal tract, or even externalize to the skin. They may be due to multiple causes, including malignant causes. Symptom nonspecificity can delay diagnosis. Imaging tests are of fundamental importance for the diagnosis. Here we report the case of a female patient with a fistula caused by a malignant renal neoplasm invading the duodenum.

Abstract:
Duodenorenal fistulas consist of anomalous communication between the renal collecting system and the duodenum. They are rare entities, with few cases reported in the literature. They can affect the upper or lower urinary tract, the female reproductive system, the intestinal tract, or even externalize to the skin. They may be due to multiple causes, including malignant causes. Symptom nonspecificity can delay diagnosis. Imaging tests are of fundamental importance for the diagnosis. Here we report the case of a female patient with a fistula caused by a malignant renal neoplasm invading the duodenum.
