Abstract Stellate scar sign is defined as the centrally-placed, welldefined, stellate area of low density on computed tomography (CT) appearance of solid tumors. This kind of radiating enhancement from the center of the tumor, which is also referred as “a spoke-wheel-like enhancement” or central scar sign, usually has been recognized as a specific finding of renal oncocytoma. We describe a patient who developed clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) displaying typical stellate scar sign on CT scans, which was confirmed by gross pathologic appearance.
