Abstract

Presentation of a 63-year old female patient with single metastasis in right suprarenal gland from a simultaneous contralateral renal adenocarcinoma. The approach used was left nephrectomy and right suprarenalectomy. Two years after surgery, the patient is alive and shows no evidence of relapse. The extreme rarity of this finding is emphasized, and clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects are commented after reviewing the relevant literature.
