Renal Cell Carcinoma Presenting with Cutaneous Metastasis : A Case Report

Abstract EN

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kidney tumor in adults.

Cutaneous metastasis is a rare first symptom of the disease.

This paper describes the diagnosis of a renal cell carcinoma that was indicated by cutaneous metastasis in the head and neck region, and considers the etiopathogenesis of such cases.

A careful skin examination is important to detect cutaneous metastasis associated with renal cell carcinomas.

Metastatic skin lesions in the head and neck region must be taken into consideration during a differential diagnosis.
