  • Title: Intestinal metastases from renal cell carcinoma: a rare cause of intestinal obstruction and bleeding.
    Author: Pavlakis GM, Sakorafas GH, Anagnostopoulos GK.
    Journal: Mt Sinai J Med; 2004 Mar; 71(2):127-30. PubMed ID: 15029404.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are rare. Clinical presentation includes intestinal obstruction, bleeding, or perforation. Management should be aggressive, since the prognosis of RCC is unpredictable and metastasectomy can extend patient survival. We present a patient with intestinal obstruction and bleeding caused by intestinal metastases from renal cell carcinoma and summarize the surgical procedures employed. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.
