Surgical resection of a metastatic para-aortic lymph node deposit of renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma – A case report

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare and usually slow-growing subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with low malignant potential. There is scant knowledge in the literature of this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. We present the case of a 56 year old with an aggressive...

Description
Summary:Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare and usually slow-growing subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with low malignant potential. There is scant knowledge in the literature of this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. We present the case of a 56 year old with an aggressive recurrent metastatic MTSCC para-aortic lymph node treated with surgical excision. This case is unusual due to its recurrent and aggressive metastatic nature and not typical for this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma. Metastatic and recurrent renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma is a very rare entity. Our case report aims to add to the limited knowledge in the literature on this rare malignancy. •Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare and usually slow-growing subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC)•It has a low malignant potential•We present the case of a 56 year old with an aggressive recurrent metastatic MTSCC para-aortic lymph node treated with surgical excision.
