Key Clinical MessageA 50‐year‐old man with a mass located in the left kidney was described by multimodal images, including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. After surgical resection of the mass, pathological examination confirmed succinate dehydrogenase‐deficient renal cell carcinoma.AbstractSuccinate dehydrogenase‐deficient renal cell carcinoma (SDH‐deficient RCC) is a malignant tumor in the kidney associated with the loss of mitochondrial enzyme II. Due to its rarity, SDH‐deficient RCC is frequently misdiagnosed. We present multimodal imaging and pathologic findings in a 50‐year‐old male with SDH‐deficient RCC.
