Primary neuroendocrine tumours of the kidney are rare, and their pathophysiology is uncertain; since their discovery in 1966, they have been described only a few times in the literature. We present a case of a well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumour of the kidney in an asymptomatic patient, which required a multidisciplinary approach by the hospital's team, including precise surgical treatment and an effective radiopathological diagnosis. The patient underwent right radical nephrectomy. During follow-up, he remained asymptomatic, and no metastases or complications were identified.
