- Abstract: 【Objective】 To analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma （MTSCC） in the kidney so as to evaluate the value of radiotherapy in local treatment of refractory MTSCC. 【Methods】 A case of MTSCC with recurrent recurrence and metastasis was reported， and the existing literature on MTSCC was reviewed and analyzed to explore the value of radiotherapy in the treatment of MTSCC. 【Results】 After three operations， postoperative pathology of the patient showed mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of the kidney. Radiotherapy was performed in the first recurrence area， and long-term follow-up in the tumor bed area showed no recurrence. 【Conclusion】 MTSCC， a rare renal epithelial tumor， has the low-grade malignance in most cases， and rarely recurs and has metastasis. This patient had repeated recurrence and metastasis before surgery， but after tumor bed radiotherapy after the first recurrence no lesion was found， suggesting that radiotherapy plays a certain role in preventing local recurrence. It is necessary to further explore the value of radiotherapy in the treatment of MTSCC.
