Abstract
- Renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon tumor in children and only 3-5 percent of the renal cell carcinoma occur under age of twenty. Interestingly, some of the patients had a history of trauma occurring shortly before the onset of symptom calling attention to the tumor. In histology of renal cell carcinoma, clear cell type is most common and papillary type is 10-15 percent. The papillary type of renal cell carcinoma is characterized by better prognosis than non-papillary types. We report a case of papillary type of renal cell carcinoma which was detected incidentally after trauma in 13-year-old male patient.
