“…The 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) PET features of metastatic renal carcinoma are relatively infrequently reported in the literature ( 11 ). The patient in the present case mainly exhibited high FDG intake, indicating a significantly increased glucose intake by the tumor.…”

Renal metastasis of a submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma is clinically rare when it presents with an atypical imaging appearance of singular renal metastases. Whole-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) can determine whether the singular renal mass is benign or malignant and identify metastases in other parts of the body, particularly in uncommon sites. In the present case, the patient developed a rare partial metastasis to the right kidney three years after undergoing a surgery for submandibular gland adenoid cystic carcinoma. Based on the present case, whole-body PET/CT examination could provide an important basis for making treatment plans for singular renal metastases.

“…In general, colorectal cancer most commonly metastasizes to the lungs, peritoneum, and liver; metastases to the kidneys from a primary colorectal adenocarcinoma are rare. In a study of 11 300 autopsies for malignant disease, only 2.8% of kidney metastases arose from a primary colon tumor [2], and to date there have only been 12 non-autopsy cases of renal pelvic or renal parenchymal colon metastasis reported in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. We present the first case of bilateral metachronous metastases to the kidneys from a primary colon adenocarcinoma.…”

Colorectal cancer continues to remain one of the most common and lethal cancers, with well-established locations for metastases to the liver, lung, and peritoneum. Improved chemotherapy regimens have resulted in patients with advanced disease experiencing prolonged survival resulting in these patients experiencing new atypical locations for metastases. We report the first case of primary colorectal carcinoma metachronously metastasizing to the kidneys bilaterally in a patient who presented with stage II colorectal cancer 8 years prior to kidney metastasis. The appropriate management of patients with renal lesions in the setting of advanced systemic disease may be challenging. Treatment should be based on preventing dialysis dependence during palliative therapy, performing potentially curative surgery in the setting of decreased systemic disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and providing options for palliative intervention for the symptomatic patient.cItAtION: UroToday Int J. 2013 February;6(1):art 11. http://dx.

“…The final pathology supported a diagnosis of metastasis from rectal carcinoma. Rare distant metastasis sites of colorectal cancer include tonsil, 1 kidney, 2 vagina, 3,4 uterus, 5,6 thigh muscle, 7 and thyroid 8 . However, solitary abdominal wall metastasis from rectal adenocarcinoma is very rare.…”
