Liver metastasis from a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma 18 years after initial diagnosis: a case report

Although chromophobe renal cell carcinoma typically has excellent progression-free survival and overall survival rates in localized disease, those patients with larger tumors or those with sarcomatous features, as well as PT53 mutations, seem to have worse outcomes due to metastatic development. This case report affirms that patients with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma exhibiting these risk factors should undergo closer and long-term follow-up after curative surgery.
