AbstractRenal cell carcinoma may metastasize to the head and neck region at different stages of its evolution. We present a case of an undiagnosed renal cell carcinoma presenting as an ear polyp, and discuss the difficulties of the diagnosis and the management of these tumours.

<p>We describe 3 rare cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the head and neck region. Our first case was a 72 years old male presented with profuse bleeding from the left ear. On examination, proliferative, pink, friable mass was present in the left external auditory canal. On eliciting the detailed history, it was found that patient had renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney four years back and underwent left radical nephrectomy. Patient underwent left lateral temporal bone resection with cul-de-sac closure. Histopathological examination of the specimen showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Our second case was a 64 years old male presented with complaints of growth in the oral cavity of 1 month duration. On examination, 5×3 cms proliferative growth was present in the hard palate. Biopsy from the growth in the hard palate showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Patient gave history of renal cell carcinoma in the past for which he did not receive treatment. Our third case was a 45 years old male who presented to us with a diffuse swelling in the left temporal region of 2 months duration. On examination, 3×2 cms swelling was present in the left temporal region. Patient had history of renal cell carcinoma of left kidney and underwent left nephrectomy one year prior to the presentation of the left temporal swelling. Ultrasonography guided biopsy of the left temporal region showed metastatic renal cell carcinoma.</p>

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a high metastatic potential due to its hematogen and vascular features. It metastasizes frequently to the lungs, the bones, the liver, the lymph nodes and the brain. Metastasis of RCC to the head and neck region is quite rare. In this case report, two RCC patients with head and neck metastases are presented: one occurring after 5 years and the other occurring 17 years after diagnosis.

Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kidney tumor in adults. Cutaneous metastasis is a rare first symptom of the disease. This paper describes the diagnosis of a renal cell carcinoma that was indicated by cutaneous metastasis in the head and neck region, and considers the etiopathogenesis of such cases. A careful skin examination is important to detect cutaneous metastasis associated with renal cell carcinomas. Metastatic skin lesions in the head and neck region must be taken into consideration during a differential diagnosis.

Approximately 15% of renal cell carcinomas metastasize to the head and neck region. Here in, we report a rare case report of a patient who underwent nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) ten years ago and presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma on her lower lip. A 65-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing mass on the lower lip. Pathology report resulted in renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Although metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the head and neck is uncommon, metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing vascular lesion in the head and neck area of patients with renal cell carcinoma.
