Renal cell carcinoma in children: a rare entity

ABSTRACT

We present a 15-years old young child primarily presented to general surgeon for abdominal mass and gross haematuria. His detailed imaging studies and other relevant investigations revealed that it is a case of Paediatric Renal Cell carcinoma [RCC], which was clinically not associated with any of the known malignancies or syndromes. On detailed histo-pathological examination this was reported as a special type of Pediatric RCC not fitting into clear cell, papillary, chromophobic, oncocytoma or collecting duct RCC.
