  • Title: Non-small cell lung carcinoma metastatic to the kidney.
    Author: Derweesh IH, Ismail HR, Magi-Galluzzi C, Hale J, Goldfarb DA.
    Journal: Can J Urol; 2006 Oct; 13(5):3281-2. PubMed ID: 17076953.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Renal metastasis by non-small cell lung cancer is uncommon and usually described at autopsy. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the rare case of a 77-year-old man with localized non-small cell lung carcinoma who underwent extirpative surgery and 2 years later presented with gross hematuria and was noted to have a large infiltrating renal mass on computed tomography. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with a prior history of resected localized non-small cell lung carcinoma, presence of a renal lesion should prompt the clinician to consider the possibility of metastasis. Further evaluation should consider this scenario.
