Abstract

Read online

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare in children and is usually found in late children. We present a case of a 14 year-old boy who presented with right lumbar pain. CT-scan showed a tumor in the upper pole of the right kidney measuring 15 cm. He underwent radical nephrectomy and histopathologic examination revealed RCC. No adjuvant therapy was given. After three years and half, there is no evidence of recurrence.
