CASE 870: INCIDENTAL RCC , Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr NGUYEN QUANG HUAN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC. VIETNAM.

 A 35 year-old woman in an annual check-up.
Ultrasound detected a left kidney mass without any sign or symptom.




MSCT confirmed the left kidney tumor which maybe a RCC or oncocytoma.






Histopathological result was an RCC, clear cell carcinoma.



Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for the majority (80% to 90%) of kidney cancers. Most RCCs have a clear cell histology. Often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. 
Most cases are sporadic, although several hereditary 
clinical kidney cancer syndromes have been identified.
