ABSTRACT
The possibility of bilateral adrenal gland metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been extremely rarely reported. Surgery may be the preferred treatment strategy for adrenal metastasis from RCC. In this article, we present a patient with bilateral large adrenal metastases from the left RCC, which was managed with simultaneous bilateral laparoscopic excision. A 64-year-old woman had undergone left adrenal sparing radical nephrectomy for a left RCC 7 years ago. Her abdominal CT scan revealed bilateral large adrenal metastasis. She underwent bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The operation was uneventful and the patient was discharged after 4 days with no complications. Bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal metastasis seems to be a feasible and safe procedure in such cases, but this needs to be confirmed by further studies with a larger sample size.
