The morphological features including the histopathologic type, nuclear grade and extent of tumor involvement determine the aggressiveness and prognosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma. Methods: 83 cases who underwent radicalor simple nephrectomy in a tertiary health care centerover a span of 4 years were included in the study. Their gross and microscopic features were studied. Results: Renal cell carcinoma shows varying morphologic features in gross and histologic appearance. The predominant histologic variant is Clear cell variant and predominant nuclear grade of tumors is grade II.
