Abstract
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is a rare variant of renal cell carcinoma which is usually diagnosed in advanced stages of life. It is imperative to differentiate it from the more common clear cell and papillary cell carcinomas as it displays a significantly better prognosis. We hereby present a case report of female, 44 years of age, who came with complaints of pain and palpable lump in abdomen. A renal mass was observed on radiological investigation. Left nephrectomy was done. Histopathological examination was suggestive of chromophobe variety of renal cell carcinoma. We are presenting this case due to its rare incidence and to emphasize the importance of its diagnosis from its differentials.
