Renal cell carcinoma constitutes about 3% of adult malignancies. It has a high metastatic potential associated with synchronous or metachronous metastatic disease. Further, it is known to metastasize mainly to the lung, bone, brain, liver, or adrenal glands. In very rare cases it can metastasize to the gallbladder mimicking acute cholecystitis on clinical exam. In this case we present a patient who developed a gallbladder metastasis five years after a renal cell carcinoma mimicking acute cholecystitis.
肾细胞癌约占成人恶性肿瘤的 3%。它具有很高的转移潜能,与同步或异时转移性疾病相关。此外,它已知主要转移到肺、骨、脑、肝或肾上腺。在极少数情况下,它可以转移到胆囊,在临床检查上模仿急性胆囊炎。在这种情况下,我们介绍了一位患者,他在肾细胞癌模仿急性胆囊炎五年后发展为胆囊转移。
