Duodenal Metastases From Renal Cell Carcinoma Presented With Melena: Review and Case Report

Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to duodenum is very rare and only a few case reports are available in the literature. We here reported a patient with solitary duodenal metastasis presented with melena six years after right nephrectomy. The patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showing ulcerative mass at the second portion of duodenum and biopsy of this mass was consistent with metastatic RCC. Metastasis work up did not find any other site of malignancy, thus Whipple’s operation (Pancreaticod… Show more

“…In general, 4% of RCC metastasises to the gastrointestinal tract. Metastasis to the duodenum is reported in 25 cases only with an incidence rate of 0.2% and 0.7% having gastrointestinal haemorrhage or obstruction (as reported in our case) as the most common clinical presentation [8]. Metastasis of RCC to the duodenum occurs via lymphatic and haematogenous spread usually or by direct infiltration; what may explain the duodenal involvement from the recurrent mass in the right nephrectomy bed in this case [9].…”

“…This is of particular concern given a significant number of these patients require anticoagulation for malignancy-related thromboembolic events [6]. Additionally, cases of obstruction, perforation, intussusception and obstructive jaundice secondary to duodenal metastases from RCC have been reported [7]. On direct visualisation by endoscopy lesions are mostly solitary, polypoid or ulcerated submucosal masses [4].…”

“…Recurrence of tumors at typical sites decreased, whereas retroperitoneal organ recurrence increased in a time-dependent manner, with a pancreatic metastatic rate of 2.7% (3). A periampullary metastasis from an RCC is reported to be sporadic, which is found only in 19 cases, including the present one (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Perambulator metastases ordinarily emerges acute or chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage (13/19), duodenal obstruction (4/19), duodenal ulcer (1/19), or obstructive jaundice (1/19).…”
