Abstract
BACKGROUND
Warthin-like papillary renal cell carcinoma (WPRCC) has been described as a rare pathological subtype of papillary renal cell carcinoma in the 2022 World Health Organization Classification of the Urinary and Male Reproductive System. Herein we report a case of WPRCC in the left kidney.
CASE SUMMARY
Physical examination of a previously healthy 47-year-old woman revealed a lump in her left kidney, 4.5 cm × 3.5 cm × 3.5 cm in size. Based on the clinical information, imaging data, histmorphological features, and immunohistochemistry results, the pathological diagnosis was WPRCC in left kidney.
CONCLUSION
Resection of the mass in the left kidney was performed and her postoperative course was uneventful.
Core Tip: It is important to prevent the misdiagnosis of this tumor as another type of renal tumor. Morphological and immunohistochemical features may be useful for diagnosing primary Warthin-like papillary renal cell carcinoma.
