Rare Case of Renal Cell Carcinoma with Mandibular Swelling as Primary Presentation

Abstract: Introduction. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of adult malignancies and 90–95% of neoplasms arising from the kidney. This disease is characterized by a lack of early warning signs, diverse clinical manifestations, and resistance to radiation and chemotherapy. Approximately one-third of patients with renal cell carcinoma have metastatic disease at initial presentation. Fifteen percent of patients with renal cell carcinoma are said to present with metastases in the head and neck region. Most o… Show more

“…Tumor cells can also bypass the pulmonary capillary filtration altogether via Batson's plexus, a network of valveless veins that connect the deep pelvic veins and thoracic veins to the vertebral column or brain. This seems to be the case in our patient given the absence of lung involvement ( 7 , 8 ).…”

“…So, pulmonary metastasis frequently occurs along this route. Tumor cells can also bypass pulmonary capillary filtration altogether via Batson plexus (cerebrospinal venous system), a network of valveless veins that connect the deep pelvic veins and thoracic veins to the vertebral column or brain without traversing the lungs [ 6 , 7 ]. This seemed to be the case in our patient, given the absence of lung involvement.…”

“…In the scientific literature, many cases of metastatic tumors in the thyroid have been published as case reports describing the pitfalls of individual case diagnosis supported by a literature overview, stressing the specific context of the more frequent primary malignancies or the reporting a rare malignancy metastasizing to the thyroid [11,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. Meta-analyses are available for the most frequent primary malignancies [32,33].…”
