Abstract

Introduction:
Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRc) accounts for 3% of all neoplasms of the adults. It is the third most frequent cause of tumors that metastasize to head and neck, after primary carcinoma of the lung and breast. The most frequent areas of metastasis are the lung and bone. In patients with clear cell renal carcinoma, head and neck lesions should make us suspicious of metastatic processes.
Case Report: A 50-year-old male presented with a right supraclavicular swelling. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed left renal primary typical tumor. There was a secondary lesion in the right supraclavicular hollow. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of right supraclavicular tumor showed metastasis of well differentiated adenocarcinoma. After evaluation by urology and oncology, it was decided to give radiotherapy and subsequent treatment with immunotherapy. Resection of cervical tumor of level V and right cervical lymphadenectomy of level II, III, IV, V was done on third day of hospitalization. Microscopic study revealed clear cell renal carcinoma. Conclusion: The patients with clear cell renal carcinoma, and head and neck tumors, should make us suspicious of metastatic processes. | |
