Background • 30 year old female presents to her primary care
physician complaining of mild pain in her right flank of one-week duration.
• No associated history of hematuria or any other systemic symptoms.
• The physical examination reveals a large mass comprising the right lumbar and right hypochondriac region.
• The patient is referred to the nephrologist, who orders an abdominopelvic computed tomography, which reveals a large 14 × 9.5 × 8 cm mass with areas of necrosis over the mid-region and lower pole of the right kidney.
• The patient is admitted for surgery, during which the tumor is seen to invade the whole kidney.
• A left radical nephrectomy is performed, and the specimen is sent for histopathological analysis.
