Renal cell carcinoma is known for its unpredictable behavior. Spontaneous regression of metastatic disease has been reported; and patients have been known to survive for years with metastatic disease. Reports of long intervals between nephrectomy and metastatic disease are common. We present a case of a solitary metastasis to the pancreas 20 years after nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
肾细胞癌以其不可预测的行为而闻名。已有转移性疾病自发消退的报道;而且已知患者患有转移性疾病仍能存活数年。肾切除术后与转移性疾病之间间隔较长时间的报告很常见。我们报告一例肾细胞癌肾切除术后20年出现胰腺孤立性转移的病例。
