    Abstract:
    Clear cell carcinoma is the most frequent cancer of the kidney (60-80% of cases). This tumour has a great propensity to metastasis. Metastasis lesions appear 15 to 20 years after nephrectomy and differential diagnosis with can be difficult to establish. We report an exceptional case of renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the tongue in a 63-years-old male patient who had a nephrectomy 20 years previously. To our knowledge, this is the second case reported in the literature.
