case_images: Abdominal CT scans showed a huge lump around the left kidney, considering malignant tumors (Figures 1A, B). During the operation, the kidney could not be stripped, and it is suspected that the sarcoma has invaded the kidney (Figure 1C). The surgeon decided to perform combined organ resection and removed the left kidney and left adrenal gland (Figure 1D).
