Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in children is seldom found. The incidence of this tumor in childhood is estimated to be 0.1- 0.3% out of all neoplasms and 2-7% out of all malignant renal tumors. The Third National Cancer Survey reported an incidence of only four cases of RCC per year compared to 117 per year of Wilms’ tumor. The incidence of RCC has not been reported in Indonesia. This is the first case of childhood RCC found in our institution. To the best of our knowl- edge, this is the first report of childhood RCC in In- donesia.
