Background. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to the salivary glands is extremely rare. Most cases reported previously have involved the parotid gland and only six cases involving the submandibular gland exist in the current literature. Metastasis of RCC to thyroid gland is also rare but appears to be more common than to salivary glands.Methods and Results. We present the first case of simultaneous metastasis to the submandibular and thyroid glands from clear cell RCC in a 61-year-old woman who presented seven years after the primary treatment. The submandibular and thyroid glands were excised completely with preservation of the marginal mandibular and recurrent laryngeal nerves, respectively.Conclusion. Metastatic disease should always be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients who present with painless salivary or thyroid gland swelling with a previous history of RCC. If metastatic disease is confined only to these glands, prompt surgical excision can be curative.

ABSTRACT Metastases to the thyroid gland are rare. We report the case of a 50-year-old man with an isolated thyroid metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC), 3 years after radical nephrectomy for the primary disease. Although uncommon, if a patient with a previous history of malignancy has a new thyroid mass, it should be considered metastatic tumor of recurrent malignancy until proved otherwise.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has high metastatic potential, which requires early diagnosis to optimize the chance of cure. Metastasis of RCC to the head and neck region is less common and metastasis to the buccal mucosa is extremely rare. This phenomenon occurs mostly in patients with generalized dissemination, especially with lung metastases. In this article we report a case of buccal mucosa metastasis from RCC in a 65-year-old man who presented 19 years after undergoing a left radical nephrectomy for clear cell RCC. Surgical excision of the buccal lesion was performed without evidence of recurrence or new metastatic lesions after 6 years of followup. To our knowledge, this is the first case of metastasis to the buccal mucosa from a RCC reported in the literature.

Splenic metastases are rare and usually occur in cases of disseminated disease. We report a case of a patient who had isolated splenic metastases with a previous history of left nephrectomy due to a renal cell carcinoma 11 years before. The aim of this report is to describe the case and review the literature of isolated splenic metastases due to renal carcinoma. This case emphasizes the importance of considering splenic metastatic disease even after many years of diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.

Approximately 20% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is diagnosed because of paraneoplastic manifestations. RCC has been associated with a large variety of paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS), but it is rarely associated with PNS vasculitis. We present a case of a previously healthy male who presented with systemic vasculitis; bitemporal headaches, diplopia, polyarthritis, palpable purpura, tongue lesion, peri-orbital edema, scleritis, chondritis and constitutional symptoms. He was subsequently found to have oligometastatic RCC. Both his primary lesion and site of oligometastasis were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) and resulted in the resolution of his vasculitis, as well as sustained oncologic response. This is the first case to demonstrate that effective sustained treatment for PNS vasculitis due to oligometastatic RCC is possible with SBRT.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in children isseldom found. The incidence of thistumor in childhood is estimated to be 0.1-0.3% out of all neoplasms and 2-7% out ofall malignant renal tumors. The Third NationalCancer Survey reported an incidence of only four casesof RCC per year compared to 117 per year of Wilms’tumor.The incidence of RCC has not been reported inIndonesia. This is the first case of childhood RCCfound in our institution. To the best of our knowl-edge, this is the first report of childhood RCC in In-donesia.

Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome is a rare emergency in onco-nephrology that results from extensive cancer cell lysis independent of antitumoral therapy. It is common among hematological tumors and can be rarely seen with solid tumors. In medical literature, there is only one case report with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in renal cell carcinoma and it was associated with metastases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Both locally advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) present a challenge in terms of their optimal management. This article reviews the literature and evaluates the role of surgery in the treatment of advanced RCC. Surgery is the optimal treatment for locally advanced RCC and minimal, resectable, metastatic disease. Patients with metastatic disease, and some forms of locally advanced disease, may also benefit from multimodal management with local surgical therapy and systemic treatment using either immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Regardless of the disease stage, patients with locally advanced or metastatic RCC represent heterogenous patient populations with different disease characteristics and risk factors. Individualization of care in the setting of a sound oncologic framework may optimize the risk/benefit ratio within individual patient cohorts.
