Abstract
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma may pose a differential diagnostic problem by routine histologic examination because it may be misdiagnosed as another type of renal cancer with a totally different clinical behavior. A low DNA content as well as hypodiploidy seem to be associated with this renal tumor subtype. We report a case in which the cytogenetic report was of great value for a correct histologic diagnosis.Keywords
