Abstract EN
Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are known for their unpredictable metastatic pattern.
We present the case of a 63-year-old woman who initially presented in 1992 with a metastasis in the left calcaneus that led to the discovery of RCC.
In 1998, a new metastasis was found in the ovary.
In 2008, the diagnosis of a gallbladder metastasis was made.
All metastases were surgically removed; no additional systemic therapies were used.
Aggressive surgical treatment can prolong the survival of patients with resectable metastases.
Patterns of metastasis are discussed, and a brief review of the literature is given regarding each localization.
