Presentation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma as a lip lesion - Abstract

We present a case of a 64-year-old gentleman who developed a renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to his lower lip following successful treatment of the primary tumour.

RCC is a common kidney tumour but skin metastases are considered rare. The authors describe the findings of this case and discuss the presentation, investigations and management of RCC skin lesions.
