Rarest of the Rare Metastatic Tubulocystic Carcinoma of Kidney
Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney is a rare neoplasm with <100 case reports. Patients are usually asymptomatic and have a relatively indolent disease course occurring predominantly in males. These tumors rarely metastasize. It was previously considered to have some similarities to various othe...

description | Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney is a rare neoplasm with <100 case reports. Patients are usually asymptomatic and have a relatively indolent disease course occurring predominantly in males. These tumors rarely metastasize. It was previously considered to have some similarities to various other renal cancers, although this tumor has distinct macroscopic, microscopic, and immunohistochemical features. It is now a well-established entity in renal neoplastic pathology. Herein we present a case of metastatic tubulocystic carcinoma presenting with bony metastasis. |
