چکیده

INTRODUCTION Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2-3% of adult solid malignancies. About 25-30% develop metastasis at the time of diagnosis and 60% corresponds to clear cell type. CASE PRESENTATION A 66-year-old man, with a personal history of left radical nephrectomy, presents with an asymptomatic skin tumor he noticed one month earlier. Histopathologic study reported metastatic cutaneous infiltration of clear cell carcinoma, suggestive of a primary renal carcinoma. DISCUSSION Cutaneous metastasis of RCC represents 6.0-6.8% of all cutaneous metastases. These patients have poor prognosis and, therefore, their treatment is palliative. It is essential to perform a complete periodic dermatologic examination for proper restaging and treatment.

Introduction: Transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the upper urinary tract constitute only 7% of urothelial carcinomas. The majority of upper urinary tract TCC arises from the renal pelvis, followed by the ureter. The majority of the patients are presented with microscopic or macroscopic haematuria, flank pain, or symptoms due to metastasis; however, it can be asymptomatic in 10-15%. Case pre...
