Results: A total of 12 patients were included. The mean size of the largest axis of the tumors was 14.06±5.3 cm with extremes of 8.2 and 23.8 cm and the tumor was graded T3 in 6 cases.

Renal adenocarcinoma was the most common histologic type in 8 cases and Furhman's grade was only specified in 6 cases. The mean duration of follow-up was 10.1±13.4 months (range 1 and 39 months), overall survival at 2 years was poor and only 2 patients were alive 3 years and 4 years after their nephrectomy. Conclusion: metastatic kidney cancer is uncommon in our context, most of our patients consult with advanced stage tumors. Systemic treatment remains difficult for our populations to access. Nephrectomy remains the main weapon at our disposal.},

AB  - In the management of metastatic kidney cancer, enlarged nephrectomy is part of a multimodal approach with systemic treatment.
