Abstract

Background: Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis is a very uncommon tumor, most often secondary to chronic infection and long standing irritation due to conditions such as urolithiasis.

Case Presentation: Herein we report our experience with an old age male that presented with flank pain. Mucinous adenocarcinoma in situ has been discovered incidentally in his nephrectomy specimen.

Conclusions: Mucinous adenocarcinoma in situ, is extremely rare and to the best of our knowledge only two cases have been reported in the English literature so far.

Keywords: Mucinous adenocarcinoma, Renla pelvis, Incidental

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

This case represents the rare incidental occurrence of a tumor in end-stage kidney which emphasizes on precise evaluation of the patients with end-stage renal disease not to miss a tumor in such a kidney.
