Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor renal cell cancer, also known as translocation renal cell cancer, belongs to the group of extremely rare non-clear-cell kidney neoplasms. Their incidence is lower in adulthood than in childhood. The only known risk factor for the development of this tumor is prior chemotherapy. In the operable stage of the disease, the prognosis depends on the status of regional lymph nodes. Interestingly lymph node positivity worsens the prognosis only in the adult patient population. Radical surgical excision is the best therapy in the early stage. The optimal treatment strategy for locally advanced and metastatic disease has not been established, given the lack of evidence in such a rare disease. We present the case of a patient with an aggressive course of this neoplasm treated with temsirolimus, who achieved 10-month control of this neoplasm accompanied by a discussion on other therapeutic possibilities.
