Skeletal metastases in renal cell carcinoma: A peculiar occurrence after treatment and long term remission
Distant metastases are characteristic for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Metastases has been observed years after removal of the primary tumor hence the need for surveillance. The most commonly involved sites are the lungs (33-72%), intra-abdominal lymph nodes (3-35%), bone (21-25%), brain (7-13%) and...

| الملخص: | Distant metastases are characteristic for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Metastases has been observed years after removal of the primary tumor hence the need for surveillance. The most commonly involved sites are the lungs (33-72%), intra-abdominal lymph nodes (3-35%), bone (21-25%), brain (7-13%) and liver (5-10%). Skeletal muscle metastases on the other hand are extremely rare. Our patient presented with uncommon metastasis of RCC to the left brachioradialis, which supports the unpredictable nature of this neoplasm. © Copyright 2019 by Gazi University Medical Faculty. |
