Abstract
Papillary renal cell carcinoma is the second most common renal tumour. The tumour has a charakteristic appearance on preoperative CT/MR imaging, with typical extrarenal growth and a regular, cyst imitate, spherical shape.
These charakteristice are most pronounced in pRCC type 1 according to Delahunt. This type of tumour also has the best prognosis in this group of tumours.
Resection of the tumour is unambigously the preffered method in these cases. In individual cases it is also possilbe to safely remove a tumour in category cT2 using resection.
