摘要
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma （CRCC） is a distinctive, but not rare, malignant renal neoplasm.Series studies have revealed that the incidence of CRCC is between 3.6% and 10.4% of all kidney neoplasms. In China, the first CRCC case was described by our hospital in 1998; there have since been only a few case reports of CRCC in China and very few instances of long-term follow-up. To our knowledge, there is little information available regarding the clinical outcomes of patients with CRCC. In order to analyze the clinical and pathologic characteristics of CRCC and the prognosis in Chinese patients, we reviewed retrospectively the clinical data from cases of CRCC treated recently in our hospital.
