Also, he suffered from blindness in the right eye caused by retinal angioma. Neurosurgeon referred the patient to urology center that a tumor in the incidentaloma of right kidney was discovered and underwent right radical nephrectomy. Pathologists report showed renal cell carcinoma. Now he referred due to infertility and undergoes diagnostic biopsy.
