Scar site metastasis of renal cell carcinoma diagnosed on-site cytology: a case report.

BMC Cancer 2018 March 8
BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) have a propensity for widespread metastases and a wide range of survival rates. They can spread into adjacent organs by direct extension and can invade local or distant sites by lymphatic, hematogenous or lympho-hematogeneous pathways. Scar site metastasis is very rare.

CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of scar site RCC metastasis in a patient who underwent left radical nephrectomy 10 months ago.

CONCLUSION: FNAC is a simple and easy technique that can help in the definitive diagnosis of subcutaneous lesions. A correct early stage diagnosis of metastatic RCC can considerably improve the survival rates.
