Abstract

Tubulocystic carcinoma of the kidney (TC-RCC) is a rare renal tumor and has been recently included as a distinct entity in WHO classification of renal neoplasms. We report the case of a patient with metastatic tubulocystic RCC whose disease progressed through standard of care treatment for nonclear RCC. However, genetic analysis revealed a germline pathogenic variant of fumarate hydratase (FH) gene, and the patient had a sustained and durable response to pazopanib.
