Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the remaining kidney 14 years after nephrectomy: report of two cases

N R Dunnick et al. Cardiovasc Radiol. .

Abstract

In two patients with renal cell carcinoma, late metastases to the remaining kidney were found. The metastases were histologically identical to the primary tumor, and more than one nodule recurred in both cases. Advanced surgical techniques allowing removal of metastases from the sole kidney make diagnosis of these lesions clinically important.
