Cutaneous metastases are an uncommon manifestation of visceral malignancy. We report a case of a 56-year-old male who presented with an ulcerated scrotal mass and inguinal swelling on the left side. Fine needle aspiration from both the sites revealed deposits of renal cell carcinoma though the patient had no urologic symptoms. Subsequent work-up revealed a renal mass. This case emphasizes the importance of keeping renal cell carcinoma as differential in cases who present with cutaneous metastases.
皮肤转移瘤是内脏恶性肿瘤的一种罕见表现。我们报告一例56岁男性,其表现为阴囊溃疡肿物及左侧腹股沟肿胀。尽管患者无泌尿系统症状,但对这两个部位进行细针穿刺均发现肾细胞癌沉积物。后续检查发现了肾脏肿物。该病例强调了在出现皮肤转移瘤的病例中将肾细胞癌作为鉴别诊断的重要性。
