A 54-year-old female had a 9-cm left renal mass with a 12-cm aorto-caval mass lesion mimicking an enlarged lymph node. Retroperitoneal dissection and left radical nephrectomy were performed, and pathology revealed a left renal mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma combined with a retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma. The patient has had no local recurrence or distant metastasis after 3 years' follow-up. A misdiagnosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma may be upheld by the primary imaging studies. Even in the targeted therapy era, cytoreductive nephrectomy is still an important step in the diagnosis and treatment of suspicious metastatic renal cell carcinomas.
