We present an unusual case of bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma around orthopedic implants in a 78-year-old female with osteolytic, expansile, highly vascularized, malignant infiltration around suture anchors in the proximal humerus. The patient had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using suture anchor implants 6 years previously. After diagnosis of bone metastasis, she was successfully treated with metastasectomy and internal fixation using a plate and screws, with cement augmentation. This report is the first to document metastases around a suture anchor in a bone and suggests the vulnerability of suture anchor implants to tumor metastasis.

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.

Approximately 340 patients are diagnosed with renal cell cancer (RCC) in Ireland each year. Metastatic spread to the lung, lymph nodes and bones is common. Metastatic spread to the gastrointestinal tract, including the small bowel, is a rare phenomenon. Therapeutic advances have led to an improved overall survival in RCC and, as a result, unusual sites of metastatic spread are becoming more common. We present the case of a 68-year-old gentleman presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of metastases to the duodenum from renal cell carcinoma.
