“…[5] reported the necropsy finding of a metastatic RCC in the mucosa of the gallblad der 7 years after nephrectomy. The 3rd case was pub lished 1947 in a survey of 195 cases of hypernephroma, and was also found at necropsy [6], Others described a patient presenting with severe ane mia caused by bleeding from the gallbladder and pan creatic metastasis of RCC 27 years following initial ne phrectomy [7]. In a large autoptical series of 523 patients with hypernephroma.…”

Although renal cell carcinoma is known to metastasize mainly to lungs, lymph nodes, bone, liver, brain or adrenal glands, unusual metastatic spread has been published in many case reports and autoptical studies. The gallbladder is rarely the site of distant metastases, and in most cases of gallbladder metastasis malignant melanoma is the primary tumor. A review of the literature revealed only 7 cases of renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to the gallbladder, and these were mainly found at necropsy. The case of a clinically detected gallbladder metastasis is presented.

“…The incidence of such lesions is reported to be approximately 1% to 3% of all RCC. [10] Since the interval between the primary diagnosis and metastatic disease can be long, [11,12] solitary metastasis to the pancreas often is an unsuspected clinical problem and is not high in the differential diagnoses of a pancreatic mass. [13,14] The mechanism of pancreatic metastases may involve direct invasion (tail involvement in left RCC) or lymphatic and hematogenous spread.…”

“…The liver, lungs, lymph nodes, brain, and bones are typical location of the metastases (3). Metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are rarely described (duodenum, pancreas, and gall-bladder) (4,5,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…Thus far, more than 230 cases of renal carcinoma metastases to the pancreas have been published (17). Usually, the metastatic lesion is diagnosed many years after nephrectomy (4,5,8,(17)(18)(19)(20). Approximately, 35% of patients with renal carcinoma metastases to the pancreas are asymptomatic.…”

“…The diagnosis of a symptomatic metastatic lesion to the pancreas within two years after the nephrectomy is associated with shorter survival (21). The method of choice consists in the surgical resection of the isolated metastatic lesion: pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, or peripheral pancreatectomy (4,9,17,18,19,(22)(23)(24)(25). Prognosis is relatively good, as compared to other malignant tumors metastasizing to the pancreas (26).…”

Renal carcinoma metastases to the gastrointestinal tract are seldom reported in medical literature. The study presented a case of a 76-year old female patient who underwent nephrectomy, due to T2N0M0 clear cell renal carcinoma and was additionally diagnosed with two metachronous metastases to the gall-bladder and pancreas. Abdominal ultrasound performed 32 months after nephrectomy demonstrated the presence of cholelithiasis and gall-bladder polyp. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed. Clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis restricted to the gall-bladder mucosa was diagnosed on the basis of the histopathological examination. After surgery the patient remained under follow-up. In December, 2009 (47 months after nephrectomy) abdominal computer tomography (CT) revealed the presence of a tumor located in the tail of the pancreas. Distal pancreatic resection and splenectomy was performed. The histopathological examination confirmed the presence of clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis. The patient is in good general condition, under follow-up at the oncological outpatient Clinic.
