We herein report a rare case of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) in an 80-year-old woman. A well circumscribed tumor located on the right kidney was discovered incidentally as a result of screening non-contrast CT. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET)/CT showed the increased tracer accumulation in the tumor. The histological diagnosis was MTSCC, which is a rare and only recently established subtype of the malignant renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The present case suggests the clinical benefit of a high uptake of FDG combined with enhanced contrast CT in the differentiation of MTSCCs and other RCCs.
