Results All the 12 cases were confirmed as cystic renal clear cell carcinoma on pathology.All the patients have been followed up for a mean of 39.5 months and the overall results were excellent with no evidence of cancer recurrence or metastasis. Conclusions Intraoperative pathological examination should be performed in suspected cases of cystic renal cell carcinoma.The prognosis is fair for cystic renal clear cell carcinoma.Nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy is indicated.
