Abstract: Abstract: The thyroid–like follicular renal cell carcinoma is an extremely rare kind of kidney neoplasms with unique clinicopathological features. The definitive diagnosis relies mainly on characteristically histological morphology, immunophenotype and clinical data. A case of thyroid-like follicular renal cell carcinoma with typically morphological character was reported. The patient suffered from low back pain, frequent urination, with the renal MR showing the right renal sinus nodule. The mass was located at the lower pole of the right kidney-close to the renal portal below the renal pelvis. After receiving simple resection of the right kidney tumor, the case was diagnosed as thyroid-like follicular renal cell carcinoma by pathological examination, and no recurrence or metastasis was observed after 6-month follow up.
