    Author: Shioi K, Muraoka K, Tomoda T, Yoshida M, Takase K, Kishi H, Noguchi S.

    Abstract:
    We report a case of bilateral adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma. A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital for a right renal mass. A computed tomography revealed a 9 cm right renal tumor and bilateral adrenal masses (3.5 cm on the right side and 4.5 cm on the left). A right radical nephrectomy and bilateral adrenalectomy demonstrated renal cell carcinoma with metastasis to bilateral adrenal glands. The pathological findings of the right renal tumor showed clear cell carcinoma, G3 > G2 and both adrenal tumors showed the same pathology as the right renal tumor. The patient is alive with lung metastasis after 15 months postoperatively treated with interferon-alpha.
