abstract ={Primary thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFCK) is a least-frequent and least-studied
variant of renal tumor which is rich in follicular structures of colloidal substances, otherwise, it is
typically negative for the thyroid immunohistochemical markers. We report a 44-year-old patient
with mild anemia, who was found a right kidney occupying lesion incidentally during the medical
examination. The microfollicular and macro-follicular structures under the microscope and typical
negative performance of thyroid immunohistochemical markers is in line with the diagnosis of
TLFCK. To our knowledge this is the first report of TLFCK with anemia. Brief review of previously
published TLFCs, we discuss the clinical and histopathological features of limited cases.}
