    Abstract:
    Extremely rarely renal cell carcinoma metastasizes to the contralateral perirenal fat. A 57-year-old male was admitted with macroscopic hematuria and lower left abdominal pain in December 1994. He was diagnosed with left renal cancer, and underwent left radical nephrectomy (RCC pT2, grade 1) in January 1995. Followup imaging studies showed a tumor arising from the right perirenal fat in 5 years. Tumor excision was performed in May 2000. Pathological findings revealed renal cell carcinoma growing in the fat, which had the same, pathology as the left renal cancer.
