Abstract :

Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma is a rare type of renal cell carcinoma. About 100 cases have been reported till date. Here we report a case of Tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma in a young male who presented with abdominal pain and intermittent hematuria . Ultrasonographically, a diagnosis of right renal mass was made. Patient underwent right radical nephrectomy . A diagnosis of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma was made based on gross finding of multiple cysts and histopathological finding of variable sized tubules and cysts lined by cuboidal cells having eosinophilic cytoplasm, nearly spherical nuclei with hobnailing at some places and prominent nucleoli .
