Abstract
Introduction and importance: 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.
Case presentation: We present the case of a 56 year old with an aggressive recurrent metastatic MTSCC para-aortic lymph node treated with surgical excision.
Clinical discussion: This case is unusual due to its recurrent and aggressive metastatic nature and not typical for this rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma.
Conclusion: 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.
