Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most lethal pathology affecting the urinary system, especially in people over 65 years and with an incidence of about 2% per year.

This article reports an extremely rare case of clear cell RCC in a 73 years old male patient with metastasis in the breast and in the bronchi, presented 15 years after surgical resection of primitive renal tumor.
