Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the pancreas and subcutaneous tissue 10  years after radical nephrectomy: a case report

ConclusionSynchronous metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the pancreas and subcutaneous tissue is very rare, and it might occur after primary tumor resection. Patients must undergo lifelong monitoring and follow-up with regular examination so that any possible metastasis can be detected early. The optimal resection strategy should involve adequate resection margins and maximal tissue preservation of the pancreas, because renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to the pancreas and subcutaneous tissue has a good prognosis with long-term survival.
