Abstract
The literature review provides an analysis of a rare malignant tumor of the kidney: thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFCK). In morphology, this tumor is extremely similar to thyroid follicular carcinoma, but the immunophenotype of tumor cells is different. TLFCK has an indolent clinical course, rarely metastasizes, and even the development of metastases does not mean an unfavorable prognosis for the patient. The literature review presents the features of the clinical course of the disease, macroscopic, microscopic, immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor and typical cytogenetic breakdowns. Particular attention is paid to the issues of differential diagnosis of the tumor with other pathological processes that may microscopically resemble TLFCK.
