Surgical resection of a metastatic para-aortic lymph node deposit of renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma - A case report.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare and usually slow-growing subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with low malignant potential. There is scant knowledge in the literature of this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma.

CASE PRESENTATION

We present the case of a 56 year old with an aggressive recurrent metastatic MTSCC para-aortic lymph node treated with surgical excision.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

This case is unusual due to its recurrent and aggressive metastatic nature and not typical for this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma.

CONCLUSION

Metastatic and recurrent renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma is a very rare entity. Our case report aims to add to the limited knowledge in the literature on this rare malignancy.
