Abstract

The cases of primary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of the kidney are rarely known in the clinical setting, and our understanding on this cancer is limited. We recently found a case of primary SCNEC of the kidney in our clinic. The clinical manifestation from the process of diagnosis to the treatment of this case was described in this report, enabling further understanding of cancer.
