ABSTRACT
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for around 3% of all cases of skin metastasis. In these patients, solitary metastasis from RCC shows a favorable prognosis. A 68-year-old woman was found to have a right renal tumor in 2009, and the pathological diagnosis was pathological T3 and grade 3 right clear cell RCC. Left-sided RCC developed and was resected in 2018. She subsequently noticed a cutaneous nodule on her abdomen. We performed surgical resection, and the pathological diagnosis was skin metastasis of RCC. We herein report a case of skin metastasis of RCC that developed 11 years after the initial diagnosis that was successfully treated by surgical resection.
ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital for his right adrenal adenoma. Adrenal vein blood sampling revealed primary hyperaldosteronism, and he was referred to our department for surgical resection of his right adenoma. During the operation, a small nodule was discovered in addition to the adrenal tumor. The pathological diagnosis of this nodule was ganglioneuroma. We herein report a rare case of ganglioneuroma incidentally discovered by laparoscopic right adrenalectomy.
