ABSTRACT
Xp11.2 Translocation Renal Cell Carcinoma is a very rare subtype of renal neoplasm. The present report describes the first confirmed reported case of percutaneous ablation of this subtype of tumor. The patient presented an aggressive local recurrence 12 months after the procedure, with an infiltrative large mass occupying almost the whole kidney. The patient was submitted to radical nephrectomy. As the use of ablative methods expands, the treatment of rare renal tumor subtypes, which can present unusual clinical outcomes, may become more frequent. It is essential that these uncommon outcomes are promptly recognized, allowing early therapeutic salvage approaches.
