Abstract Background Renal cell carcinoma metastases to the spleen are rare. At the time of this report, only 20 cases of splenic metastases from RCC have been published in the literature. To our knowledge, our report is the first splenic metastasis from a chromophobe RCC. Case presentation A 44-year-old woman presented with clinical and radiological features of splenic metastasis from RCC, 12 years after radical nephrectomy for chromophobe RCC. Computed tomography, laparotomy and splenectomy revealed metastases to the spleen and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Conclusion Splenic metastasis from RCC is uncommon, and rarer still from a chromophobe subtype of RCC. Surgical management of the metastasis is recommended.

Introduction: Nephrocolic fistula is a pathological connection between the kidney and colon. Percutaneous tumour ablation therapy is a rare cause of iatrogenic nephrocolic fistula in the literature. Case Presentation: Interventional radiologists should be careful, especially in patients with repeated ablation. Granulation of tissue may lead to unexpected results secondary to tissue fragility and impedance changes. Conclusion: In addition, we should keep in mind that there is decreasing hydro dissection benefit in cases with the previous ablation. As far as we know, this is the first case report of an iatrogenic ephrocolic fistula after microwave ablation for recurrence renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract Background: Renal Cell carcinoma usually presents metastasis at the diagnosis and the most common sites include lung, bones, liver, and brain in decreasing order. Metastasis to the large intestine is very uncommon and few cases are reported in the literature. Case Presentation: We present a case of post nephrectomy renal cell carcinoma who presented to our institution with signs of anemia and on further investigations found to be having metastatic lesions of renal cell carcinoma in the intestine, peritoneum, and abdominal wall. Conclusion: We hypothesize that due to recent advances in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, the patient's survival rate increased and this leads to atypical presentations of the known diseases. Through this case report, we stress the importance of vigilant evaluation for intestinal metastasis when the patient presents with gastrointestinal bleeding and a history of renal cell carcinoma regardless of the time since nephrectomy.

Introduction: Despite the population's greater access to imaging tests and consequent diagnosis of renal cancer in early stages, we continue to encounter neoplasms in locally advanced and metastatic stages. Case report: We report a patient admitted to the emergency department of the Hospital Geral de Fortaleza with hematuria and urinary retention. After the patient underwent computed tomography and transurethral resection, a diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma metastasis in the bladder was confirmed based on immune histo chemistry results. Discussion: Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in the bladder is rare, with few cases reported in the literature on synchronic presentation. Final considerations: Although rare, we must consider the possibility of metastasis of renal cell carcinoma in patients who present with hematuria, especially in those previously diagnosed with renal cancer.

Introduction Primary renal lymphoma is a rare malignant lymphoma that is difficult to differentiate from renal cell carcinoma. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography and image-guided percutaneous biopsy are valuable tools for diagnosis. Case report A 64-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of repeated right waist pain and a 1-month history of nausea, vomiting, and frequent and urgent urination. A computed tomography scan showed a huge mass that was initially considered to be renal cell carcinoma at the upper pole of the right kidney. The mass had invaded the renal pelvis, narrowed the right renal artery, and constricted the inferior vena cava and liver. Postoperative examination of the tumor confirmed lymphoma. We herein present this case and its multidisciplinary team management. Conclusion Multidisciplinary team management is efficient for preoperative assessment and surgery in difficult and high-risk cases. Based on our literature review, we suggest biopsy before chemotherapy whenever possible. Chemotherapy can be implemented after surgery for better survival outcomes.
