Abstract
Chromophobe cell renal carcinoma is a recently established subtype of renal cell carcinoma, Herein we report a case of chromophobe cell renal carcinom a in a 67-year-old male patient who occasionally underwent computed tomogra phy, In a microscopic study with hematoxylin and eosin stain, clear eosinop hilic cytoplasm, and a moderately atypical nucleus were observed, And it wa s stained positively by Hale's colloidal iron. Ultrastructurally, the cytop lasm was filled with numerous microvesicles. From these results, this tumor was pathologically diagnosed as chromophobe cell renal carcinoma.
