BACKGROUND We report an unusual case of a synchronous rectal and metachronous vaginal metastatic renal cell carcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 78-year-old woman presented with hematochezia and a colonoscopy revealed a metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma rectal polyp biopsy-proven. Abdominal computed tomography identified a 9.0-cm left renal mass with renal vein thrombosis, for which she un...

hyalinizying clear cell carcinoma is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in minor salivary glands. the purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of buccal vestibule in a 55-year-old woman. it is important to differentiate this neoplasm from other tumors with clear cell features because of their differences in treatment and cli...

A 52-year-old woman had a pathological fracture of the right femur. On histopathological examination bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma was suspected. Abdominal computed tomography showed a heterogeneous mass (9.1 x 7.8 x 6.5 cm) in the left kidney and a cystic multilocular mass (12 x 10 cm) in the pelvis. Bone scintigraphy revealed an abnormal uptake in the left coracoid process, right ...

Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCP-RCC) is a recently described, relatively uncommon variant of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with a reported incidence of 4.1%. Thought to only arise in those with end stage renal disease, CCP-RCC is increasingly identified in those without renal impairment. CCP-RCCs have unique morphologic, genetic, and immunohistochemical features distinguishing them ...

BACKGROUND Intraventricular tumors represent a diagnostic problem, due to a wide range of differential diagnosis, with an important variability of tumoral histological types in adult and pediatric population. Patient, METHODS AND RESULTS Our case is represented by a patient, aged 48 years, without any history of significant personal pathology, accusing nausea, vomiting, and intensive headache...

clear cell renal cancer (ccrc) is a tumor with great metastatic potential, but solitary metastases, especially in the thyroid gland, are uncommon and difficult to diagnose1. A patient with a solitary thyroid metastasis from ccrc is reported, and the literature is reviewed. the patient was a 66-year-old male patient with a history of high blood pressure, chronic renal failure, hyperuricemia, cur...

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common renal tumor in adults. Clear cell carcinoma represents 85% of all histological subtypes. In February 2012 a 72-year-old woman came to our department due to the appearance of massive hemoptysis and pharyngodinia. Previously, this patient was diagnosed with a renal cell carcinoma treated with left nephrectomy. We observed an exophytic, grayish, and ulcerate...
