We report a case of rare involvement of the eye with choroidal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma presenting 08 years after the primary tumor was removed. The patient initially presented with cataract most probably induced by the tumor. After cataract extraction, tumor was detected when it induced vitreous involvement and retinal detachment. Enucleation was performed and an extraocular mass w...

Pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is rare. l ) Recent improvements in diagnostic techniques have resulted in an increased number of reported cases. 2 5 ) However, few of these cases have involved asymptomatic patients with resectable lesions. ) We recently encountered an asymptomatic patient who had undergone right radical nephrectomy 15 years previouslY, and now required distal p...

PURPOSE To create an easily applicable system based on a combination of the quantitative level of IMP3 (an oncofetal protein) and tumor stage to more accurately predict postoperative metastasis of localized renal cell carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Three hundred sixty nine patients with localized renal cell carcinoma (without metastasis during nephrectomy) were investigated by the use of surv...

A 63-year-old male patient visited our hospital with a right incidental renal tumor, which was found by ultrasonography for the follow-up study of chronic hepatitis B virus infection and diabetes mellitus. Consecutive computed tomography revealed a right renal tumor and two left adrenal tumors. Further systemic imaging study and hormonal examination suggested one right renal cell carcinoma and ...

Metastatic non-colorectal cancer of the anal canal is a rare entity. To date, only four cases have been described in the literature. We present a 76-year-old man who was referred with an unusual perianal lesion. He had a history of renal cell carcinoma 7 years previously. Histologically, the lesion revealed clear cell carcinoma in keeping with metastasis. To our knowledge, this is only the seco...

Metastases of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the renal pelvis to the eye is a very rare event, as only one previous case has been described in the literature. We present a patient with choroidal metastasis secondary to TCC of the renal pelvis, with a review of the relevant literature. A 61-year-old male presented with sudden-onset loss of vision of the left eye. Upon evaluation and assess...
