Abstract
in English, Italian

The prognosis for renal metastatic carcinoma is poor: in fact only a small portion of patients have metastases surgically treatable for their number and sizes with often a multiorgan involvement. We present a case in whit a solitary liver metastasis was incidentaly detected 17 years after nephrectomy for renal clear cell carcinoma. during a staging computed tomography performed for colonic cancer. We discuss the main feature of this rare condition.

La prognosi dei pazienti affetti da carcinoma renale metastatico è molto grave. Solo una piccola percentuale di pazienti può essere sottoposta a chirurgia in quanto alla diagnosi spesso le metastasi sono multiple e multiorgano. Presentiamo un caso clinico nel quale una metastasi epatica singola è stata diagnosticata incidentalmente 17 anni dopo una nefrectomia eseguita per carcinoma renale a cellule chiare, e discutiamo le peculiarità di questa rara situazione.
