In the presented paper we have examined two cases of the chromophobe type - renal cell carcino-

ma. It is a rare carcinoma of the kidney. Despite it's malignancy (aneuploid cell population, metasta-

ses) this cancer has a good prognosis due to low biological activity. A clinical symptoms of chromo-

phobe cell carcinoma is similar to that of other renal carcinomas. Elektron microscopy is necessary

for establishing full diagnosis.
