Bilateral kidney metastases from adenoid cystic carcinoma of lung: a case report and literature review

We present a case of a 58  years old woman with bilateral renal metastasis from ACC of the right lung after fourteen years from lobectomy and radiotherapy for the primary presentation. The patient underwent bilateral robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in a two-stage approach. Despite its rare incidence and slow growth, ACC metastasis may simulate primary papillary renal carcinoma and occur many years after primary treatment. Therefore, lifelong follow-up, including abdominal imaging, is recommended.
