Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent solid lesion accounting for ~90% of all kidney malignancies. Clear-cell RCC (ccRCC) represents the most frequent subtype. Urinary bladder is a rare metastatic site either synchronous or metachronous. Hereby, we report the case of an 85-year-old male patient with a single urinary bladder metastasis due to ccRCC and we present a review of the literature.
