AI Article Synopsis
- Clear renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most prevalent primary kidney tumor, accounting for 75% to 85% of renal neoplasms.
- Smoking is the most common risk factor for developing RCC, while links to autoimmune conditions and glomerulonephritis (GN) are less commonly reported and not well-defined.
- This case report highlights a rare instance of RCC occurring alongside crescentic GN.
Article Abstract
Clear renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common primary renal tumor originating within the renal cortex. It is responsible for 75% to 85% of all primary renal neoplasms. Multiple risk factors are associated with the development of RCC, the most common being smoking. On some occasions, RCC has been linked to some autoimmune conditions, but data is limited. Especially, its association with glomerulonephritis (GN) is rare in literature and not fully understood. In this case report, we discuss a presentation of RCC associated with crescentic GN.
