  • Title: Solitary liver metastasis of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma 20 years after nephrectomy treated by hepatic resection.
    Author: Lordan JT, Fawcett WJ, Karanjia ND.
    Journal: Urology; 2008 Jul; 72(1):230.e5-6. PubMed ID: 18329075.
    Abstract:
    A small proportion of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma have operable liver metastases, as there is often multiple dissemination within the liver and to other organs. We present a case of a solitary liver metastasis found incidentally 20 years after radical nephrectomy for a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a liver resection with tumor-free margins and recovered uneventfully. Time will tell if this was oncologically successful.
