We found a cyst in the right kidney of an 11-year-old castrated miniature dachshund. We suspected the symptoms as simple renal cyst by cytodiagnosis of the cyst puncture liquid and imagiintensityng examination. We examined the cyst wall in detail using thin MIP(maximum/minimum intensity projection) image by contrast-enchanced CT and we could not completely deny the malignant tumor. Therefore, we resected the cyst wall by surgery. Histopathologically, the cyst wall was diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma. In this case, we had hard time to distinguish renal cell carcinoma from simple renal cyst in various examination.
