    Journal: Anticancer Res; 1999; 19(6C):5575-6. PubMed ID: 10697620.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of renal cell carcinoma with solitary metachronous metastasis to contralateral adrenal gland occurring 9 months after radical nephrectomy. The patient was treated with a contralateral adrenalectomy and is alive for 87 months. The literature was reviewed and 5-year survival of solitary metachronous metastasis to contralateral adrenal gland was 60%. Follow-up duration of our case was the longest in the literature. It is suggested that the solitary contralateral adrenal gland metastasis of renal cell carcinoma should be resected since there is no effective treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Good prognosis may be then and the good be expected.
