It's a malignant epithelial tumor that arises from the kidney tubules. It's usually discovered incidentally. When symptomatic, it usually presents with a classic triad of haematuria (with normal and not dysmorphic RBCs), costovertebral pain and/or a palpable mass in the flank.

It's a malignant epithelial tumor that arises from the kidney tubules. It's usually discovered incidentally. When symptomatic, it usually presents with a classic triad of haematuria (with normal and not dysmorphic RBCs), costovertebral pain and/or a palpable mass in the flank.  


It's a relatively rare malignancy, with an incidence of 15/100 000 new cases every year. It's mostly a disease of elderly men. Most are diagnosed with localised disease. Up to 70% of cases are incidentally diagnosed on imaging.<section end="radiology" />
