Surgical resection as a curative intervention for solitary renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the nasal cavity
Caroline E Williams, Amir H Sohail, William Smithee, Jose Mercado, Stephen Reynolds
TL;DR
This paper presents a rare case of kidney cancer spreading to the nasal cavity and being treated with surgery.
Contribution
The novelty lies in describing a rare metastatic case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma to the nasal cavity successfully treated with surgical resection.
Findings
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma can metastasize to the nasal cavity.
Surgical resection can be a curative treatment for such rare metastases.
Abstract
Persistent unilateral nasal obstruction with recurrent epistaxis in an adult should raise suspicion of malignancy. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 90% of all renal malignancies but rarely manifests as a nasal mass. We describe a case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to the nasal cavity.
