Abstract

UNLABELLED

Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the head and neck region is infrequent. A rare case of metastatic RCC, presenting as an enlarging neck mass and radiologically mimicking a carotid body tumour clinically and radiographically, presented in a 68-year-old male patient, 18 months after radical nephrectomy for RCC. It is estimated that 14-16% of all patients with renal cell carcinomas have metastases above the clavicle. However, there are no reported cases of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the neck mimicking a carotid body tumour.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common neoplasm to metastasize to the head and neck region following breast and lung carcinomas.

肾细胞癌（RCC）转移至头颈部区域较为罕见。一名68岁男性患者，在接受RCC根治性肾切除术后18个月，出现了一例罕见的转移性RCC，表现为颈部肿块增大，临床和影像学上在放射学上酷似颈动脉体瘤。据估计，所有肾细胞癌患者中有14 - 16%发生锁骨以上转移。然而，尚无转移性肾细胞癌酷似颈动脉体瘤转移至颈部的报道病例。
