Eosinophilic renal tumours comprises a range of papillary and solid lesions including both benign and malignant neoplasms. Identifying the tumor, subtyping and deducing the behaviour of the disease is essential for the purpose of correct management of the patient. Type 2 renal cell carcinomas (RCC)s have distinct cytological features that are different from type 1 papillary RCCs. These cytological features are shown to be attributed to the aggressive behaviour exhibited by these tumours. Here, we present a rare case of type 2 papillary with a special emphasis on the behaviour of the tumour.
