ABSTRACT

Metastatic renal cell carcinoma [MRCC] is a rare cause of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding [LGIB]. We report a 51-year man who underwent left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma [RCC] 6 years ago. presenting with massive LGIB. Preoperative abdominal computed tomography [CT] revealed small bowel mass. Exploration of the abdomen revealed jejunal mass. Resection of the mass along with the jejunal segment with end-to-end anastomosis was performed. Histopathology of the jejunal mass confirmed MRCC. MRCC should be expected as a source of massive LGIB in a patient with history of RCC. Surgical intervention should not be delayed in a hemodynamically unstable patient and persistent bleeding
