MATERIALS AND METODS: Ultrasonographic imaging examination, magnetic resonance imaging and thorax computed tomography performed with IV contrast scan techniques were used to diagnose and examine the mass. RESULTS: The patient was diagnosed with a mass in his kidney and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. There was a casual pheochromocytoma in the surrenal gland at the same time. In addition, histopathological examination revealed a papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP). DISCUSSION: It is interesting in this case that the patient did not have any other complaints other than left side pain due to the mass in the kidney. It is notable that there were no clinical or radiological findings that may be compatible with the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in this case. CONCLUSION: This study reports a significant result that there was cooccurrence of pheochromocytoma (PC) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma along with VHL disease. KEY WORDS: Clear cell carcinoma, Pheochromocytoma, Von Hippel-Lindau.
