ABSTRACT
Brain metastases are not rare in patients with renal cell carcinoma. However, there have been few reports of isolated brain metastases. In patients with localized renal masses, urologists tend to evaluate only the chest and abdomen region. We report the case of a 65-year-old patient who presented with sudden left-sided weakness. He underwent brain surgery after a mass was found on brain imaging. Histopathology analysis revealed a single brain metastasis that occurred 15 months after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Although the patient had been evaluated for localized kidney cancer in preoperative staging, he had not complained of any neurological symptoms before or after radical nephrectomy. Therefore, we had not perceived a need for brain evaluation at that time. This report is intended to draw attention to the need for further evaluation in patients with large renal masses, as well as patients with moderate to high recurrence risk scores.
