Abstract

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is a unique variant  of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Thoenes et al  in 1985 described it for the first time and it constitutes about  2-5% of  RCCs. It  is composed of an admixture of two types of tumor cells.One type of cell is  large having pale cytoplasm and  other is smaller having granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. It is frequently unrecognized tumor and  may be misdiagnosed as renal oncocytoma on cytology.It is important to distinguish these two entities for the suitable surgical management. We report a case of ChRCC diagnosed on imprint cytology in a 78 year old male patient  who has undergone right nephrectomy.
