Abstract
Renal cell carcinomas with t(6;11) (p21;q12) translocation are extremely rare and primarily affect children and young adults. To our knowledge, there has been no case report focusing on the imaging manifestations in the existing literature. Hence, we describe the computed tomography findings of two young adults.
