Abstract
The most common form of malignant renal tumours is Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which is considered for nearly 80-85% of primary renal tumors. Now a day renal tumours can usually be detected at primary stage due to the popularity of sonography. Clinical manifestations of RCC have a diverse range. Loin pain, hematuria and abdominal mass contemplate as a classical triad but only present in 4–17% of cases. Here, we present a unique case of RCC in a 65 years old elderly gentleman admitted to our hospital with upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms without any significant GI involvement.

With the increased use of modern imaging techniques RCC is often diagnosed at an early stage; patients with a huge renal mass is infrequently came across [4].
