10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 6 Issue 4 2015 (October - December) Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (ChRCC) is a unique variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Thoenes et al in 1985 described it for the first time and it constitutes about 2-5% of RCCs. It is composed of an admixture of two types of tumor cells.One type of cell is large having pale cytoplasm and other is smaller having granular eosinophilic cytoplasm. It is frequently unrecognized tumor and may be misdiagnosed as renal oncocytoma on cytology.It is important to distinguish these two entities for the suitable surgical management. We report a case of ChRCC diagnosed on imprint cytology in a 78 year old male patient who has undergone right nephrectomy. DR.MAMATHA K, DR.
