  FIG. 1 A coronal view of an abdomen computed tomography with enhancement demonstrates a 7-cm renal mass with a lobulated contour and central necrosis in the mid pole of the right kidney (A). The tumor shows a solid, nesting, and tubular pattern of growth and the polygonal tumor cells have clear cytoplasm, H-E stain ×200 (B). The 70×60 mm mass in the mid pole of the right kidney also contained multiple cystic changes and necrotic tissues with hemorrhage (C).
