Abstract

Key clinical message: A 50-year-old man with a mass located in the left kidney was described by multimodal images, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. After surgical resection of the mass, pathological examination confirmed succinate dehydrogenase-deficient renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract: Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (SDH-deficient RCC) is a malignant tumor in the kidney associated with the loss of mitochondrial enzyme II. Due to its rarity, SDH-deficient RCC is frequently misdiagnosed. We present multimodal imaging and pathologic findings in a 50-year-old male with SDH-deficient RCC.

Keywords: computed tomography; magnetic resonance imaging; pathology; renal cell carcinoma; succinate dehydrogenase; ultrasonography.
