  • Title: Renal cell cancer without a renal primary.
    Author: Wayne M, Wang W, Bratcher J, Cumani B, Kasmin F, Cooperman A.
    Journal: World J Surg Oncol; 2010 Mar 22; 8():18. PubMed ID: 20302679.
    Abstract:
    Renal cell carcinoma has been increasing in incidence over the past two decades. Men are affected more than women and metastatic disease at presentation occurs in up to one third of patients. Metastasis can occur to virtually any organ, and involvement of multiple organs is not uncommon. To date, no reports have been found of metastatic disease without a renal primary. We present a case of renal cell cancer initially presenting as a subcutaneous mass with subsequent pancreatic and parotid gland metastases in absence of a primary renal source.
