RENAL CELL CARCINOMA WITH CONTRALATERAL ADRENAL METASTASIS

Abstract

We report a case of left renal cell carcinoma with contralateral adrenal metastasis. Such a renal cell carcinoma is rare. In our case, careful preoperative computed tomographic evaluation detected the presence of contralateral adrenal metastasis, and simultaneous left radical nephrectomy and right adrenalectomy were performed. No case of renal cell carcinoma metastatic to the contralateral adrenal gland, which was diagnosed preoperatively and treated surgically, is found in the Japanese literature.
