Abstract

A clear cell tumor is a histological entity that rarely originates outside of the kidney.

This report highlights the importance of an adequate disease management team, including surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists, to identify the best therapeutic approach to improve survival rates and the quality of life of patients affected by this rare disease
