  • Title: [A case report of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma arising from atrophic kidney during long-term haemodialysis].

    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman with chromophobe cell renal carcinoma arising from the atophic right kidney during long-term haemodialysis was reported. The right renal tumour was detected incidentally by abdominal ultrasound examination. She received right nephrectomy through flank incision, and the pathological diagnosis was an eosinophilic variant of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma. Chromophobe cell renal carcinoma is a relatively rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma (5%), and the rate of this subtype on a long-term haemodialysis was quite low (0.6-0.7%), and almost all these patients had acquired cystic disease accompanied with haemodialysis. By contrast, our case occurred in the atrophic kidney (non-cystic kidney), and this might be the first case report of chromophobe cell renal carcinoma arising from an atrophic kidney in a patient on long-term haemodialysis.
