Area of Science:

Oncology
Uropathology

Background:

Primary renal carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare.
Only 13 cases have been previously documented in medical literature.

Observation:

A new case of primary renal carcinoid tumor is presented.
The tumor met established histologic and immunochemical criteria for carcinoid.

Findings:

Novel diagnostic modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and serum chromogranin-A levels were employed.
These advanced techniques were not utilized in previously reported cases.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of renal carcinoid tumors.
The use of MRI and chromogranin-A levels may offer new diagnostic avenues for rare renal neoplasms.
