A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency room with febrile right flank pain. The computed tomography scan and the magnetic resonance imaging had objectified lesion image occupying the upper half of the right kidney, measuring 82 mm, suggesting an infectious origin without excluding the infected tumor. He was put under antibiotics. A percutaneous biopsy revealed renal cell carcinoma with suppurative tumor necrosis. He underwent a right radical nephrectomy. The histopathological study revealed a collision tumor of papillary, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid dedifferentiation. It is the second case reported in English literature to date.
