“…Cutaneous metastases of RCC are commonly found on the head, chest, and abdomen [5]. Other unusual sites reported include chin [6,7], preauricular area [8], tongue, and fingers [9,10]. Cutaneous metastases from RCC tend to present as a single, rapidly growing, reddish-blue lesion.…”

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common genitourinary malignancy of increasing incidence and significant mortality rate. Skin metastases of RCC are considered a rare phenomenon of unfavorable outcomes. We present a 75-year-old male patient who developed a rapidly evolving lesion on his left cheek four years after undergoing a right radical nephrectomy for non-metastatic RCC. Immunohistochemistry of the skin lesion was diagnostic for cutaneous metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma, which eventually led to the detection of internal malignancy recurrence by positron emission tomography. A new facial skin lesion may unmask the underlying recurrence of RCC.

“…Skin metastases from RCC vary in consistency, color, size, and texture, clinically resembling sebaceous cysts, angiomas, adnexal tumors, pyogenic granulomas, among others [7,11]. When multiple, they have been found to mimic Kaposi's sarcoma as well [12].…”

Introduction: Metastatic disease can be observed in nearly 25% of all renal cell carcinoma cases (RCC). This can present in the skin as a late symptom of the disease or as a manifestation of an undetected, asymptomatic RCC. Aim: To review the literature and present a case study of cutaneous metastasis in primary genitourinary malignancy, especially RCC in order to broaden the related knowledge. Material and methods: The first stage of our work was focused on presenting the results of the literature review about cutaneous metastasis in the patients with renal cell carcinoma. Next, taking into account that this type of metastasis associated with RCC is relatively rare, we have decided to present a patient aged 68 with incidentally detected skin metastases of RCC located on the scalp. Results: It was diagnosed as a primary manifestation of advanced disease. Computed tomography scans showed a solid mass in the left kidney. Following surgical excision of the skin lesion, a left-side nephrectomy was performed. Conclusions: Cutaneous metastases of RCC present an unfavourable prognosis, however, remission is possible subsequent to early diagnosis and appropriate surgical excision.
