ABSTRACT
Renal cell carcinoma is an uncommon tumor inadults. Metastasis in the nasal fossa is rare, and canbecome apparent as a result of repeated epistaxis.We report a patient with renal cell carcinoma presentingwith epistaxis secondary to a metastasis inthe right nasal fossa. The primary tumor was treatedwith nephrectomy and the nasal fossa metastasiswas treated successfully with embolization, chemoimmunotherapy,surgery, and radiotherapy. Thepresence of repeated epistaxis may very occasionallybe the first symptom of renal cell carcinoma, andsystemic treatment combined with local treatmentmay enable adequate control of the disease
