HEMALATHA G GANESAN

Abstract


Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma comprises
about 5 of all cases of renal cell carcinoma.
Patients with chromophobe renal
cell carcinoma have a wide age range of
16 years to 86 years with approximately 75
of them being diagnosed in their fifth to
seventh decade. A 42 year old lady presented
with complaints of abdominal pain
and burning micturition of 10 days duration.
CT scan of abdomen showed exophytic
soft tissue density lesion in the
lower pole of right kidney. Right radical
nephrectomy was done. The histopathological
diagnosis of the mass was Chromophobe
renal cell carcinoma - eosinophilic
variant.
