Abstract

A case of renal cell carcinoma, found after skin metastasis is presented. A 76-year-old woman came to our hospital complaining of two painless subcutaneous tumors in her left chest. Histopathological diagnosis was clear cell carcinoma. She underwent left nephrectomy and histopathological findings revealed renal cell carcinoma, alveolar type, clear cell subtype, grade 1. Lung metastasis was proved soon after the operation. We removed skin metastasis several times after the nephrectomy.
