Unusual presentation of renal cell carcinoma: Gluteal metastasis - Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has widespread and unpredictable metastatic potential.

The most common sites of metastatic RCC are the lungs, lymph nodes, bones, liver, and brain; however the soft tissue metastasis is rare (2,3). Here we report a 76-year-old male patient who had renal cell carcinoma presented with gluteal metastasis. To our knowledge this is the first renal cell cancer case with gluteal metastasis at the initial diagnosis.
