Objective: Tumor size in kidney tumor is an important prognostic factor in determining the treatment. In our study, the difference between radiographic tumor size RTS and pathologic tumor size PTS in patients who undergoing surgery for renal cell carcinoma has been investigated. The comparison has been also made according to histological subtypes. Materials and Methods: One hundred and five patients who undergoing surgery due to renal cell carcinomas were evaluated retrospectively between September 2010 and March 2015. Baseline characteristics of patients such as age, sex, type of surgery, pathological T stage, RTS and PTS, tumor location and histologic subtype were investigated. Radiographic and pathologic tumor size, histological subtypes and radiological examinations were compared. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson’s chisquare test. Results: For all patients, the mean RTS and PTS was 40.1 mm 19-150 mm and 42.3 mm 12- 180 mm , respectively. When we grouped patients according to tumor size, PTS
