Abstract:
A patient is described who was presented with a little finger tip sized palpable nodular mass on left calf muscle for 2 years of duration. The pathologic result of the biopsy specimen for nodular mass showed a clear cell carcinoma. The full metastatic work up demonstrated tumor in the right kidney, with no other detectable primary focus. Result of the radical nephrectomy exhibited renal cell carcinoma confined within renal parenchyme. The patient was treated with IFN-alpha-2b as adjuvant therapy and now is on close observation without the evidence of tumor recurrence.
