The case of a 70-year old male in whom imaging studies revealed two separate tumors in the left kidney is presented. In the surgical nephrectomy material two tumors were seen, 4.5 and 4cm in diameter; one of them was a clear cell carcinoma, and the other - a papillary carcinoma, respectively. In addition, a small, subcapsular nodule was detected, which was classified as an adrenal rest. According to current opinions, the above lesions have different pathogenesis and their coexistence may be regarded as accidental.
