RESUMO
Introduction: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is the most frequent type of renal cell carcinoma, which is often diagnosed incidentally in an advanced stage. Case History: We present the case of a 49-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with no specific symptoms. After computed tomography (CT) evaluation, the suspicion was raised of a left renal tumour. The aim of this case study is to underline the importance of rapid diagnosis and further investigation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma and the severity of this type of cancer. Conclusions: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma has no specific symptoms. For the complete diagnosis and further monitoring, the use of CT is necessary. Teaching Point: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with partial nephrectomy can relapse near the surgical scar and progress with metachronous bilateral adrenal metastases, especially when close follow-up is not performed due to the pandemic situation.
