Gallbladder’s clear cell renal carcinoma metastasis: A case report

Abstract

HighlightsContribute to the comprehension of rare mestatic disease in clear cell renal carcinoma.Underline that non only primary tumors develop in the gallbladder.Increasing suspect of metastatic disease in patients with renal cell carcinoma will improve medical care of this patients.

Gallbladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: A case report and literature review

“…Thus, it cannot be stated unconditionally that a single metastasis in the gallbladder is common or not. Castro Ruiz et al also reported that cholecystectomy with R0 resection was shown to be the only factor that increases survival 4 . Surgical treatment should be considered a positive form of treatment when the metastatic lesion is solitary and resectable.…”

Metastatic renal clear cell carcinoma mimicking a gallbladder polyp: Case report and literature review

“…The surface is covered by gallbladder epithelium. Other lesions like adenomyomatosis or chronic cholecystitis may be associated [12]. Immunohistochemical staining is performed to assess the diagnosis and shows positivity to AE1/AE3, Vimentin, CD10 and RCC with no expression of S100, cytokeratin or CEA.…”

Gallbladder Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma Revealed With 18F-FDG PET/CT

“…Usual metastasis sites are lung, bone, and liver 3,5 . The gallbladder is an unusual site for renal cell carcinoma metastasis; only a few cases have been reported, and most of them (48%) are located at fundus as our patient 1–9 . To our knowledge, only 1 case has been reported with 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings 6 .…”

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] To our knowledge, only 1 case has been reported with 18 F-FDG PET/CT findings. 6 Throughout the available follow-up of solitary gallbladder metastatic patients for 1.1 years, none of them had the remaining disease.…”
