Blepharoptosis is the drooping or inferior displacement of the upper eyelid. Blepharoptosis can be either congenital or acquired. Tumour metastasis is one of the acquired causes of blepharoptosis. The lungs, locoregional lymph nodes, bone and liver are the usual sites of metastases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC); however, unusual locations of RCC have also been reported. Herein, we describe a case of a 47-year-old man with unilateral ptosis and blurred vision due to metastatic RCC. We describe the different causes of blepharopstosis, the path that led to the diagnosis, and how RCC can metastasize to unusual anatomical regions such as the orbit. Symptoms such as exophthalmos, lid edema, diplopia, ptosis, cranial nerve paralysis or blurred vision may mime a benign disease; however, they could also be the symptoms of a systemic malignancy.

“…The median time of tumour control was short-only 4-8 months. Many studies have shown that the salvage therapy of relapsed adult Wilms tumour involving intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy could be successful [11][12][13][14], but the results of the treatment in this group of patients were inferior to those reported in children [15][16][17]. In our group of patients with recurrence after the first-line chemotherapy, the response rate to carboplatin, vepesid, ifosphamid or cyclophoshamid used in the protocol as the second-line chemotherapy was inferior to the response rate reported in children [7].…”

O tumor de Wilms é a neoplasia renal de maior incidência na primeira infância e raramente acomete adultos. A incidência neste grupo situa-se em torno de 1% do número total dos casos, sendo o prognóstico bem pior. Neste trabalho é relatado um caso novo em paciente do sexo masculino, com 52 anos de idade, apresentando dor abdominal intensa associada à perda ponderal. A ultra-sonografia abdominal revelou lesão expansiva complexa, de contornos indefinidos em flanco esquerdo. A tomografia computadorizada de abdome demonstrou lesão sólida no pólo antero-superior do rim esquerdo invadindo os espaços peri-renal, para-renal e musculatura para-vertebral. Foi realizada nefrectomia total e posterior exame anatomo-patológico da peça cirúrgica que diagnosticou nefroblastoma (tumor de Wilms) em estádio II, sem anaplasia. O paciente recebeu radioterapia no leito tumoral. Diagnosticouse metástase pulmonar e hepática após o término da mesma, quando se iniciou a quimioterapia com adriamicina, actinomicina e vincristina. O tumor de Wilms em adulto apresenta geralmente um prognóstico pior, necessitando de uma terapêutica mais agressiva e de acompanhamento prolongado.
