title: Renal cell carcinoma presented with hypocalcemia in an adolescent.
abstract: Renal cell carcinoma is very rare in childhood. It is a different entity from its adult counterpart. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma presented with hypocalcemia in a 16-year-old girl that is, to the best of our knowledge, the first such published incident. The patient was treated by radical nephrectomy with regional lymphadenectomy. Hypocalcemia amended after surgery. Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy was given. She has remained disease free for 34 months.
