Abstract:

 

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is known to undergo metastasis during diagnosis and after a period of primary therapy. Although the lung, liver and spleen are presented as the most metastatic organs, RCC rarely metastasizes to thescalp. Likewise, ulceration and infected scalp lesions should be excised with no lesions and RCC should be evaluated with immunohistochemistry with the suspicion of RCC. Here we presented a rare case of metastatic RCC ulceronodular lesion that led to a deep anemia of dense hemorrhage in the left temporal region 10 years after nephrectomy and discussed the nature of RCC skin metastasis in the light of current literature.

 

Renal Hücreli Kanser (RHK) tanı esnasında ve primer tedaviden seneler sonra metastaz yapmasıyla oldukça bilinmektedir. Akciğer, karaciğer ve dalak en çok metastaz olan organlar olarak sunulsa da RHK nadiren skalp üzerine metastaz yapar. Benzer şekilde, ülsere ve enfekte skalp lezyonları da lezyonsuz sınırlarla eksize edilmeli ve RHK şüphesiyle immünohistokimya ile değerlendirilmelidir. Biz burada nadir görülen nefrektomiden 10 sene sonra sol temporal bölgede yoğun kanamaya bağlı derin anemiye yol açan bir metastatik RHK ülseronodüler lezyonlu vakayı sunduk ve güncel literatür eşliğinde RHK’un cilt metastazının doğasını tartıştık.
