Abstract

Spontaneous regression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a wellrecognized

and interesting phenomenon that is poorly understood

and rarely documented. There are very few reported cases of spontaneously

regressed primary RCC. We present a 63-year-old male

with a biopsy-proven RCC that regressed with complete resolution

of symptoms.
