Abstract:
We describe a case of renal-cell carcinoma insulated and entrapped in the renal capsule by a calcified and ossified rim. To our knowledge, this is the first time a renal-cell carcinoma of the renal capsule is reported. The fact that the tumor cells originated from the distal/medullary tubules was supported by immunohistochemical studies. The pertinent literature is reviewed.
