Abstract EN
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) constitutes 2-3% of all types of cancers.
RCCs metastasize into lungs (50–60%), lymph nodes (36%), bones (30–40%), liver (30–40%), and brain (5%) in respective percentages.
RCC rarely metastasizes into ovary.
Only 25 cases of ovarian tumor, which metastasized into kidneys, have been presented.
In the literature, a kidney-ovary axis has been defined, and its interrelationship begins with embryological life.
With this case report, we aimed both to present a very rarely seen metastasis of RCC into contralateral ovary and also to review the literature.
