Integrated Imaging-Pathologic Diagnosis and Treatment Overview of Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report and Systematic Review of the Literature.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) of the kidney is a rare, low-grade renal epithelial tumor with a unique histopathological profile. This case report aimed to highlight the clinical, imaging, and immunohistochemical features of MTSCC, facilitating its differentiation from other renal tumors and providing insight into effective management strategies.

Case presentation

A 52-year-old female presented with left-sided abdominal pain. Imaging studies, including CT and ultrasound, revealed a low-density mass in the left kidney.
