Abstract
Primary renal carcinoid tumor, first documented in the literature in 1966 by Resnick, is an exceedingly rare neoplasm. A primary renal cell carcinoid tumor is reported in this article. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the English literature. There is no gender predilection. The age of presentation ranges from 13 to 79 years. Some cases of primary carcinoid tumor of the kidney have been associated with other renal lesions such as horseshoe kidney, teratoma of the kidney, dysplastic kidney, other renal neoplasms, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The clinical course of the disease and ultimate outcome remain difficult to predict due to the paucity of cases available for drawing statistically meaningful conclusions.
