Abstract

Skip-metastasis is well-known patern in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Unusual metastasis from RCC is rare. Surgery comes up when there is ope-rable metastatic tissue. Herein, we present a case of penile metastasis from RCC.  A 66-year-old man admitted outpatient clinic with symptoms of penile mass with painful intermittent erections. Clinical evaluations showed kidney mass with multiple paraaortic lymph nodes. Radical neph-rectomy and excisional biopsy from penile mass were performed. Pathology reported clear cell RCC and its metastases into penis. Patient was referred to medical oncology department. Rare metastasis from RCC could be related with poor survival and clinicians should be aware for these.

Key Words:  Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma, metastasis, penis.
