ABSTRACT

Small cell carcinoma of the kidney is an uncommon tumor with high degree of malignity,rapid progress,and most of the metastatic lesions at diagnosis.There is no specific difference between small cell carcinoma of the kidney and other renal parenchymal tumors in the clinical features and imaging findings.Diagnosis is mainly based on pathology.There is no unified guidance in the treatment,and the main ways include surgery alone,chemotherapy alone,and adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.Targeted drugs are expected to become a new therapeutic modality for renal small cell carcinoma.In this paper,the clinical features,diagnosis and differential diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of renal smcc will be summarized through the analysis of domestic and external research progress.
