“…A similar case study by Rold reported complete resolution of diarrhoea after nephrectomy in a patient with a case of RCC with diarrhoea and weight loss [6]. Chataut et al [7] have also reported a similar case but patient had regional lymph node metastasis, but our case is unique in the sense that, it was an organ confined non metastatic tumour with no lymph node metastasis, reinstating the fact that even organ confined RCC can present with diarrhoea as paraneoplastic syndrome. The cause of diarrhoea in RCC is not proven but it may be result of production of prostaglandins (PGE 1 and PGA 1 ) & vasoactive intestinal peptide [8][9][10].…”

Presentation of renal cell carcinoma is quite variable. Only in 10% cases, it present with classic features of flank mass, hematuria and pain. Uncommon presentation may mislead the diagnosis and management. We are reporting a patient who initially present with diarrhoea as presenting symptoms of renal cell carcinoma. Figure 1: Contrast enhanced abdominal CT, showing heterogeneous, enhancing right upper & midpolar renal mass, and cut section of gross specimen showing infiltrating upper and midpolar renal mass.
