Metastasis of renal adenocarcinoma to the pelvic region

Acta Med Croatica. 2000;54(3):119-23.

Abstract

Adenocarcinoma is among the most common tumors with a 95% incidence. Renal tumor metastases can occur by the lymphatic, lymphohematogenous, or hematogenous route. A 59-year-old female with metastasis of renal adenocarcinoma, at an unusual localization is presented. Diagnosis was made by ultrasound and cytologic examination, computerized tomography, angiography, and tumor biopsy. Tumor biopsy was the sole successful technique to detect the metastasis of renal adenocarcinoma.
