Thyroid-like metastases to the scalp from a papillary renal cell carcinoma: A case report - Abstract

The skin can host metastatic tumors originating from different organs.

We report a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the scalp in a 73-year-old man with features very similar to those of thyroid papillary carcinoma. The histogenesis in relation to its structure is discussed.
