Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in an 18-year-old female

Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in young adults is uncommon. Whether they have different clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes from those in older patients is still a conflicting matter. In this article we present an uncommon subtype of RCC which is chromophobe RCC (chRCC) in a female aged less than 20 years.
