Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma comprises about 5% of the total cases of renal cell carcinoma. This neoplasm is diagnosed in 6th decade of life. The incidence of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is similar in male and female population. Prognosis of this type of renal carcinoma is better than in other types. The authors of this article presented a case of a 60-year-old Caucasian woman who was admitted to the hospital because of right kidney tumor. The patient two years ago was treated due to melanoma of the back. Therefore, there was suspicion of melanoma metastasis to the right kidney. The author performed a literature review on chromophobe renal cell carcinoma diagnosis and treatment.
