Abstract:
We present a unique papillary thyroidlike carcinoma of the kidney. The patient had an incidentally discovered renal mass that, histologically and immunohistochemically, resembled papillary thyroid carcinoma. Workup revealed no primary site other than the kidney and no evidence of metastasis. This is the first reported case of a malignant papillary thyroidlike cancer of the kidney.
