Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2 –3% of all adult malignancies. Clear-cell type RCC is the most common type, accounting for approximately 75% of all renal cancer cases. The most common sites of metastasis include the lung, bone, and liver. Ovarian metastasis of RCC is an exceptionally rare occurrence with only 41 cases reported i n the literature with only 11 of these cases involving the bilateral ovaries.
