Abstract
Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare and unusual variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It is important to differentiate this from the other variants particularly papillary RCC since MTSCC is generally low-grade, has low malignant potential and favorable prognosis. We are reporting a 40-year-old female presenting with right flank pain and well-circumscribed renal mass confined to the lower pole. Tumor consisted of tubules and cords separated by pale mucinous material in some areas, whereas other areas showed dense cellularity without significant mucin. The tumor cells were cuboidal or spindle and did not show significant atypical features. The patient underwent nephrectomy and is asymptomatic clinically and radiologically after 2 years.
