Background. Surgical treatment of solitary and oligometastatic metastases in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the treatment options for modern oncology.The objective of study to compare surgical outcomes in treatment of synchronous and metachronous solitary metastatic adrenal tumors in RCC.Materials and methods. The study included 93 patients with kidney cancer, from 1997 till 2018, who underwent surgical treatment in the urological oncology department of the P.A. Hertzen Moscow Oncology Research Institute. The 1st group is represented by 58 patients with RCC and synchronous secondary adrenal gland lesion, who underwent simultaneous surgery, consist of radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy without subsequent adjuvant therapy. The 2nd group included 35 patients with metachronous solitary metastatic adrenal gland lesion who underwent surgical treatment.Results. The progression of disease to left adrenal gland was observed in 40 (43.0 %) cases, to the right – in 39 (41.9 %), both adrenal glands — 14 (15.1 %) cases. The median diameter of the adrenal tumors was 44 (4—170) mm, the most common in both groups were tumors less than 5 cm (58.1 %). The sensitivity of ultrasound in the diagnosis of adrenal tumors was 80.6 %, computed tomography – 93.5 %, adrenal biopsy – 73.9 %. The median of the observation time was 42 months (1st group — 24 months, 2nd group – the median was not achieved). The one-year survival of patients with a metachronous lesion of adrenal was 82.3 ± 76.6 % versus 52.8 ± 7.1 % in the synchronous lesion group, three-year survival was 79.2 ± 7.0 % versus 32.3 ± 7.6 % and five-year – 57.0 ± 10.0 % versus 16.2 ± 12.0 %, respectively. In multivariate analysis, only a metachronous lesion is a factor of favorable prognosis (p = 0.002).Conclusion. Surgical treatment for metachronous adrenal gland metastatic lesions is appropriate intervention and provides better patient survival rates compared to synchronous lesions.

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are known for their unpredictable metastatic pattern. We present the case of a 63-year-old woman who initially presented in 1992 with a metastasis in the left calcaneus that led to the discovery of RCC. In 1998, a new metastasis was found in the ovary. In 2008, the diagnosis of a gallbladder metastasis was made. All metastases were surgically removed; no additional systemic therapies were used. Aggressive surgical treatment can prolong the survival of patients with resectable metastases. Patterns of metastasis are discussed, and a brief review of the literature is given regarding each localization.

Renal cell cancer metastases without evidence of a primary tumor are extremely rare. These variants are usually showed as a spontaneous description of single clinical cases. Aim.This contribution is a clinical follow-up of synchronous renal cell cancer metastases of unknown primary site. Results.A 52-year-old patient U. with a history of increased blood pressure, up to 170/100 mmHg for the last 5 years, who had undergone many instrumental examinations, including ultrasound examination, because of this disease. The computed tomography of the abdomen showed a 4975 mm heterogeneous tumor in the right adrenal gland in October 2017. The combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography showed a 795441 mm mass in the right adrenal gland, associated with elevated fluorodeoxyglucose metabolic activity SUVmax 7.25. Focal accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical SUVmax 4.31 in a 171124 mm mass was detected in the space of bifurcation in the mediastinum. The lytic lesion (1015 mm) was found in right superior L3 articular process. The patient underwent retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy and thoracoscopic removal of mediastinal tumor in November 2017 because of the oligometastatic nature of the process. The histological study identified clear-cell carcinoma with areas of papillary structure in the right adrenal gland. The immunohistochemical study showed carcinoma cells intensively expressing CD10, and some other cells RCC. The immune phenotype of the tumor was identified as clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. The immunohistological and immunohistochemical analysis reviled the metastases of the same variant of renal cell carcinoma in one of 9 lymph nodes. The patient was treated with pazopanib. The primary renal tumor was not detected during the dynamic observation, including the application of annual combined positron emission and X-ray computed tomography. The patient is alive without disease progression with a follow-up of 32 months. Conclusion.Metastases of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, including adrenal gland, without evidence of a primary site are extremely rare. The main method of treatment is a combination of surgery and targeted therapy, providing long-term local control of the course of the disease.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common genitourinary malignancies worldwide. Approximately 25–30 % of newly diagnosed patients have metastatic RCC (mRCC), whereas in 20–30 % of cases, dissemination occurs after radical surgical treatment. The development of targeted and immunooncological agents in recent years significantly increased survival in patients with mRCC. However, clinicians faced a problem of choosing an optimal therapeutic regimen to achieve maximum effectiveness of the treatment. This article discusses the choice of second-line drugs for mRCC, advantages of axitinib and its optimal dosage, and efficacy of sunitinib depending on the disease prognosis.
