Solitary, late metastatic recurrence of renal cell carcinoma: Two extraordinary cases

Abstract: Late recurrence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been well documented in the literature. We present two extraordinary cases of solitary, late metastatic recurrence of RCC. The first is a case of a solitary, adrenal metastasis excised 38 years after nephrectomy and the second is a case in which two solitary metastatic deposits were resected 14 and 26 years after excision of the primary tumor. In each of these patients the solitary metastases were initially believed to be primary tumors at other sites; however,… Show more

“…Generally, an immune cell-inhibiting mechanism is present in the microcirculatory environment of tumors (20). A trace number of cancer cells of RCC were latently present under the control of the immunological surveillance mechanism, but it may have manifested because the DLBCL tumor volume rapidly increased and inhibited immunity, and the subsequent growth of metastatic cancer cells from RCC may have been slightly rapid, unlike the slow growth previously reported (1,6,17).…”

“…The most common sites of metastasis are the lung, liver, and bones (4). Clinically evident gastrointestinal involvement of RCC, especially solitary duodenal metastasis from RCC is rare and most frequently involves the periampullary region or the duodenal bulb (5,6). According to recent report (7), of the 3637 patients diagnosed with RCC, 15 patients (0.4%) with 19 gastrointestinal lesions were identified, and duodenum involvement was 6 lesions.…”

“…[5,6] Long term survival rates of 21-44% have been documented following curative resection for RCC metastases at various sites. [7] Metastases from renal cell carcinoma can be diagnosed in virtually any location, but they commonly spread to the lung (75%), regional lymph nodes (60-65%), bones (20%), liver (18%), skin (8%), and central nervous system (8%). [3] The bone is the second common site of distant metastasis.…”

“…Excision of recurrent and metastatic lesions leads to longer survival (345) while improvements in patient care and new treatment modalities, such as administering anti-angiogenic agents, may also improve the overall survival benefits by reducing pharmacological toxicity and improving quality of life (36). Although RCC can metastasize to any site in the body, clinically evident gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is extremely rare (78), likely leading to its underdiagnosis due to its low prevalence. In addition, such cases do not receive much clinical attention since they are frequently regarded as an aspect of generalized metastatic disease.…”
