In Case history A 31 year old male presented with painless gross hematuria and lumbar pain for 2 months. Renal cell carcinoma was suspected and left radical nephrectomy was done. It was diagnosed as primary carcinoid tumor of kidney on histopathology. In Conclusion the disease is rare and hence attains a low index of clinical suspicion. However, its good prognosis at early stages makes an early diagnosis even more important. Keywords: Primary renal carcinoid tumor, good prognosis.
