We present a unique case of an 82 year old Chinese male who experienced spontaneous regression of histologically-verified metastatic type II papillary renal cell carcinoma in the absence of intervening systemic therapy or surgery. This is the first reported case of spontaneous regression of papillary renal cell carcinoma. The mechanism of spontaneous regression remains unknown, and represents a challenge for existing oncology paradigms. © 2009 Lim et al.; licensee Cases Network Ltd. | Source Title: | Cases Journal | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178212 | ISSN: | 1757-1626 | DOI: | 10.4076/1757-1626-2-7769 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
