Abstract

Multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) is an uncommon low- grade tumor with unique morphologic features and excellent prognosis. Currently it is classified as subtype of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma presented with right renal mass. Computed tomography showed heterogeneously enhancing partly cystic mass lesion in right kidney. Patient underwent right nephrectomy. Microscopic features were suggestive of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma. Patient is doing well with no evidence of recurrence.
