Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is the second most common type of renal cell carcinoma. It accounts for about 10–15% of all renal epithelial neoplasms. It has characteristic gross and histologic features that distinguish it from other types of renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of PRCC which was detected as an incidental finding during autopsy of a patient who was involved in a road traffic accident. PRCC may be considered as one of the rare causes of death in a medicolegal autopsy of sudden natural death.
