Kidney cancer, which is common and has high mortality ra-tes, is one of the most important urological tumors. Kidney cancer is approximately %3 of all adult tumors. The second most common tumor of the kidney after renal cell carcinomas is tumor of uroe-pithelium. Mostly observed tumor in this group is transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). TCC of renal pelvis is about 5% of all urothelial tumors. The most common complaint is on macroscopic hematuria and only 10 to 15% of patients have no symptoms.
In this article 52 year old male patient, who had a retroperito-neal cystic mass reaching up to 40 cm in size according to imaging techniques, was presented. Our case was discussed with the light of current literature.

Abstract
Kidney cancer, which is common and has high mortality ra-tes, is one of the most important urological tumors. Kidney cancer is approximately %3 of all adult tumors. The second most common tumor of the kidney after renal cell carcinomas is tumor of uroe-pithelium. Mostly observed tumor in this group is transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). TCC of renal pelvis is about 5% of all urothelial tumors. The most common complaint is on macroscopic hematuria and only 10 to 15% of patients have no symptoms.
In this article 52 year old male patient, who had a retroperito-neal cystic mass reaching up to 40 cm in size according to imaging techniques, was presented. Our case was discussed with the light of current literature.
