Abstract

While clear cell, papillary and chromophobic renal cell carinoma (RCC) represent the most common malignant renal neoplasms, the evaluation and classification of rare renal carcinomas has currently come into focus. One of these is the leiomyomatous RCC, which shows morphologic similarities to clear cell RCCs, however exhibiting additional, atypical smooth muscle differentiation. We report the clinical case of a patient simultaneously presenting with leiomyomatous and papillary RCC and discuss new tumor entities of RCC.

Keywords: Kidney cancer, malignant; Kidney disease; Renal cell carcinoma, clear cell, papillary; Stroma, prominent angioleiomyomatous; Tumor types.
