Abstract
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma is a rarely-seen type of renal cell carcinoma. It accounts for 5% of all adult primary renal tumors. Giant renal tumors are not frequently encountered. Herein, we present a case of a giant chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, 23 cm in length and 2,680 g in weight, which completely filled the left side of the abdomen.
Keywords : Renal Cell Carcinoma, Kidney Neoplasms, Abdomen, Kidney, Humans.
