A rare kidney neoplasm: Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma

Abstract

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma has recently been recognized as a rare tumor of the kidney. Single cases or small series have been reported in the literature. The tumor is considered to be a low-grade carcinoma with a relatively favorable prognosis. Here we presented our rare case with clinicopathologic features and pathological differential diagnosis.
