We describe a case of recurrence of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma 8 years after successful surgical treatment of primary localized disease in the left kidney. The primary tumour had exhibited neither gross nor histological evidence of lymphovascular infiltration. The recurrence occurred in the residual left ureteric stump – a finding that, to the best of our knowledge, has not previously been reported.
