“…On the other hand, individual cases of ccRCC metastases in the eyelid have been recorded in patients with an already known primary tumor, usually after nephrectomy, as a sign of disease recurrence, as well as in patients who already have accompanying metastases in other locations [1,6,11,12]. Two cases were recorded in which chalazion was primarily diagnosed, similar to our patient, which emphasizes the importance of a good ophthalmological examination [1,5]. ccRCC is the most common type of renal carcinoma in adults, accounting for approximately 80% of cases [13].…”

“…Metastatic ccRCC of the eyelid usually presents as a painless, rapidly growing mass that may appear as a capillary hemangioma due to marked vascularization [ 4 ]. Eyelid metastases of ccRCC can also present as a typical fast-growing chalazion unresponsive to topical therapy and recurring after routine incision and curettage [ 5 ]. Patients with systemic malignant tumors usually have multiple metastatic sites, ocular and non-ocular [ 6 ].…”

“…Occurrences of metastases from RCC to the eyelid are extremely rare, with only six cases reported during the past 10 years. [3][4][5][6] In three of them the metastasis was the first manifestation of a previously unknown RCC; however, in only one of them it was the only metastatic site, as occurred in our case. The role of surgery in the treatment of metastatic RCC is still controversial.…”
