Renal Cell Carcinoma: Incidental Diagnosis
Renal Cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney malignancy in adults and has a low incidence rate in the general population. It is worth noting that unlike other urological conditions, RCC patients can present symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction in the tropics where RCC has a low suspicion. The objective of this paper was to identify the classic triad of renal cell carcinoma, to promote the use of USS in the early detection of renal mass in low socio-economic areas where computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may not be affordable by patients due to financial constraints and to identify the peculiarity of supra vesical bleed in renal malignancy. This manuscript highlights a case of RCC presenting to the surgery outpatient clinic (SOPC) with gross hematuria and a history of passage of clotted blood.
