Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in children is
seldom found. The incidence of this
tumor in childhood is estimated to be 0.1-
0.3% out of all neoplasms and 2-7% out of
all malignant renal tumors. The Third National
Cancer Survey reported an incidence of only four cases
of RCC per year compared to 117 per year of Wilms’
tumor.
The incidence of RCC has not been reported in
Indonesia. This is the first case of childhood RCC
found in our institution. To the best of our knowl-
edge, this is the first report of childhood RCC in In-
donesia.
