Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma arises from the epithelium of the renal tubules and accounts for approximately 3% of adult malignancies. Tumours occur most often in older individuals usually in sixth and seventh decades of life. Bilateral multifocal papillary type of RCC is rare and its presence should prompt the suspicion of some underlying hereditary genetic predisposition thus thorough cytogenetic evaluation and detailed family history could help in finding the etiology. Bilateral RCC could be synchronous or metachronous. We hereby present the autopsy findings of a case of sudden death of a 65 years old male. On histopathological evaluation, both kidneys showed papillary variant of renal cell carcinoma as an incidental finding.
