Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common renal malignancy in adults however is extremely rare in children. It may present with hematuria, flank pain, palpable mass or would just be an incidental finding. Treatment protocols for renal cell carcinoma in children has not yet been well defined due to its rarity, however surgery remains the mainstay treatment for tumors that are resectable. Here we present a case of a 1-year old female presenting with left hemi abdominal mass, who underwent transabdominal left radical nephrectomy. Histopathology showed a papillary renal cell carcinoma type 1, with positive immunohistochemical stains for Vimentin, CK7 and AMACR.
