| Summary: | Renal cell carcinoma is responsible for approximately 80% of malignant tumors of
the kidney. Clear cell, papillary, and chromophobe forms comprise the most frequent
histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma. Thyroid-like follicular renal cell carcinoma
is an extremely rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma that resembles thyroid follicular
neoplasms. Histologic findings should not be confused with chronic pyelonephritis with
thyroidization or renal metastasis of thyroid cell carcinoma. There are few reports of
thyroid-like follicular renal cell carcinoma. Here, we report a new case of thyroid -like
follicular carcinoma of the kidney diagnosed in a partial nephrectomy specimen in a
62-year-old man. |
