“…Lim et al reported a case of solitary recurrence 2 years after an esophagectomy for a SCC, which was treated with radical nephrectomy. The follow-up revealed suspicious paraaortic lymphadenopathy that decreased in extent after admission of palliative chemotherapy, but no data concerning the survival are mentioned [ 34 ]. A 57-year-old patient, treated with radiation therapy for esophageal cancer, showed a recurrence in the right kidney accompanied with a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava 1 year after.…”

BackgroundDespite the improvements in the early detection and treatment of non-metastatic esophageal cancer, more than half of patients undergoing a curative treatment for esophageal cancer will develop recurrence within three years. The prognosis of these patients is poor. However, a wide range in overall survival has been reported, depending on the pattern of recurrence, and no optimal treatment strategy following recurrence has yet been uniformly accepted.AimIn this article, we aimed to systematically review the literature for the role of surgical resection of metachronous distant metastasis following primary treatment of esophageal cancer. Furthermore, we discuss possible factors that could possibly predict which patients may benefit from a surgical approach. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed using combinations of keywords.ResultsPatients with recurrence may benefit of a multimodality treatment. Regarding the isolated recurrence of esophageal cancer in solid visceral organs, operative intervention has been proposed as a treatment that may offer a survival benefit in an individual basis. No definitive conclusions regarding the potential survival advantage offered by the surgical treatment of solitary recurrent lesions can be drawn. However, recent improvements in surgical treatment and optimization of perioperative management guarantee an acceptable operative risk, making surgical resection of solitary recurrence lesions a considerable therapeutic option.ConclusionsIt can be conferred from the available studies that the surgical treatment of isolated recurrence from esophageal cancer may offer a survival benefit for properly selected patients. Prospective, multicenter studies might be useful to gain a better insight into those factors that affect selection of patients to take benefit from an operative intervention.

“…7 In addition, metastatic lesions tend to be less exophytic and wedgeshaped compared to the primary tumor of the kidney because of their subcapsular location. 8 In the present case, renal metastasis appeared as a solitary, wedge-shaped mass located in the subcapsular area. The tumor is whitish in color with an infiltrating margin, and 5 cm at its greatest dimension (A: white color arrows).…”

“…The present case in addition to the other 11 previously reported cases of esophageal cancer with renal metastasis and their treatment are briefly summarized in Table 1. 8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Some cases had undergone surgical treatment because the differentiation between metastasis and primary renal tumor was difficult. Others were treated with surgical resection followed by chemotherapy and showed longer survival than those received surgical treatment alone, although this difference was not statically significant.…”

Solitary renal metastasis of esophageal cancer is rarely encountered. Herein, we report the case of a 47-year-old man who developed a solitary renal metastasis after concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by esophagectomy with esophagogastrostomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and treatment with nephrectomy and subsequent chemotherapy. Histopathological evaluation after operation revealed that the kidney mass was a metastatic lesion from esophageal cancer. He completed 15 cycles of palliative chemotherapy after nephrectomy and remained cancer-free for 36 months. Although lymph node metastasis occurred during regular follow-up, no evidence of lymph node metastasis was found on the imaging study after 9 cycles of chemotherapy with radiotherapy.

Solitary renal metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma mimicking primary renal neoplasm – A case report and literature review

Solitary renal metastasis of esophageal cancer is rare clinically, with only 14 cases being reported in the literature. The authors here report a case of a 53-year-old man with a metachronous hypopharyngeal and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who developed a solitary renal metastasis after complete chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer, and subsequently received a left nephrectomy. The metastatic esophageal cancer was indistinguishable from primary renal neoplasm in the computed tomography but showed the histopathologic characteristic of esophageal cancer in directly invading the renal artery, and the tumor spreading in the kidney. The patient died of pneumonia two months after diagnosis. Among the previous 14 reported cases, 12 occurred in Asians, and their overall survival time ranges from two months to nine years after nephrectomy, either with or without adjuvant chemotherapy. Accordingly, a solitary renal mass in patients with a history of esophageal cancer is warranted to differentiate metastatic esophageal cancer from primary renal neoplasm, and a reliable therapy needs to be planned early for improving the patient’s chance of survival.
