Renal metastasis from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma

In this study, we report a case of renal metastasis from ICC. A 72-year-old man who had been followed-up for chronic hepatitis C was diagnosed with ICC in the segment 8 and underwent S8 segmentectomy in 2014. During follow-up, the serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were slightly elevated, and abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a low-density mass preceded by rim enhancement in the arterial phase measuring 1.5  × 1.5 cm in the segment 6, and a hypovascular mass measuring 2.2 × 2.0 cm in the upper pole of the left kidney in 2017. He underwent partial hepatectomy and partial nephrectomy. Based on postoperative histological findings combined with immunohistochemical analysis, the tumors both in t he liver and kidney were diagnosed as recurrent ICC.
