Abstract

We report an unusual case of 40-year-old adult man who presented as a case of urolithiasis but was found to be harboring an incidental renal cell adenocarcinoma. He underwent an uneventful radical nephrectomy. The literature regarding incidental renal cancer and it's association with urolithiasis has been reviewed and discussed.
