Background: Approximately 15% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases develop extracranial head and neck metastases. Metastatic lesions to the larynx from outside the head and neck region are rare.Methods: We report an unusual case of RCC metastatic to the left vocal cord, in a 57-year-old female. The patient suffered from metastatic RCC, detected 11 months prior to onset of hoarseness, which was her only symptom of glottic metastasis. The tumor was radically excised applying direct laryngoscopy.Results: Histopathologic examination revealed metastasis of RCC clear cell type.Conclusions: Glottic metastases do occur in patients with metastatic RCC and laryngeal symptoms, such as persistent hoarseness, should prompt otolaryngological examination.

Posterior Neck

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) commonly metastasizes to the lung, liver, bones, and brain; however, cutaneous metastases remain rare with few reported cases. Since RCCs have the propensity to metastasize to highly vascular areas, the scalp and skin of the head and neck region are likely locations for cutaneous metastases. We report a rare case of a large, exophytic, cauliflower-like, hemorrhagic, metastatic mass of the posterior neck. This is the first reported case of a head and neck cutaneous RCC metastasis treated with endovascular embolization prior to surgical resection. Due to the increased vascularity of RCCs and risk of excessive hemorrhage during resection, adjunctive embolization of cutaneous head and neck metastasis may have a role. Essential characteristics to our treatment strategy are discussed with a review of pertinent literature.

The Brain

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a high metastatic potential due to its hematogen and vascular features. It metastasizes frequently to the lungs, the bones, the liver, the lymph nodes and the brain. Metastasis of RCC to the head and neck region is quite rare. In this case report, two RCC patients with head and neck metastases are presented: one occurring after 5 years and the other occurring 17 years after diagnosis.

Introduction. Renal cell carcinoma can present with several interesting symptoms, paraneoplastic syndromes, and unusual metastatic sites. Head and neck region is one of the rare locations for renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Case Report. A 50-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with nasal congestion and snoring. Physical examination revealed nasal serous secretion. First taken biopsy was misinterpreted. The symptoms of the patient were not revealed and he was readmitted to the hospital. On radiologic examination, a vascular rich mass in maxillary sinus extending to the nasal cavity was observed. Biopsy was diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Herein, we present a patient with renal cell carcinoma presenting nasal obstruction and snoring as first and recurrent symptom.

Carcinoma Metastasis

Approximately 15% of renal cell carcinomas metastasize to the head and neck region. Here in, we report a rare case report of a patient who underwent nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) ten years ago and presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma on her lower lip. A 65-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing mass on the lower lip. Pathology report resulted in renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Although metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the head and neck is uncommon, metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing vascular lesion in the head and neck area of patients with renal cell carcinoma.

AbstractRenal cell carcinoma may metastasize to the head and neck region at different stages of its evolution. We present a case of an undiagnosed renal cell carcinoma presenting as an ear polyp, and discuss the difficulties of the diagnosis and the management of these tumours.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kidney tumor in adults. Cutaneous metastasis is a rare first symptom of the disease. This paper describes the diagnosis of a renal cell carcinoma that was indicated by cutaneous metastasis in the head and neck region, and considers the etiopathogenesis of such cases. A careful skin examination is important to detect cutaneous metastasis associated with renal cell carcinomas. Metastatic skin lesions in the head and neck region must be taken into consideration during a differential diagnosis.
