Attributable to its distinct characteristics in prognosis and its natural history, MCRCC was recognised as a separate subtype of renal cell carcinoma in the 2004 WHO classification of adult renal tumors. We report this case of MCRCC from antemortem surgical specimen, due to its unusual gross appearance and a rare clinical entity. date: 2011-04-15 date_type: published publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences volume: 10 number: 1 publisher: BS Kakkilaya refereed: TRUE referencetext: 1.
