Renal cell carcinoma is rare in adolescents. Observation of a 16-year-old girl with a clear-cell renal carcinoma prompted us to review 372 published cases in adolescents. The tumor affects the sexes indifferently and has no side predominance. The incidence is higher in white races. The most frequent presenting sign is a palpable mass (52.7%). X-ray films typically show renal calcifications (25%). The most common histotype is the clear cell carcinoma (76.8%) and at diagnosis 59.5% of these tumors already extend beyond the kidney. The overall 5-year actuarial survival rate is 60.4%.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is rare in adolescents. Observation of a 16-year-old girl with a clear-cell renal carcinoma prompted us to review 372 published cases in adolescents. The tumor affects the sexes indifferently and has no side predominance. The incidence is higher in white races. The most frequent presenting sign is a palpable mass (52.7%). X-ray films typically show renal calcifications (25%). The most common histotype is the clear cell carcinoma (76.8%) and at diagnosis 59.5% of these tumors already extend beyond the kidney. The overall 5-year actuarial survival rate is 60.4%.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
