We report a rare case of advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma which initially presented to the clinic with back and forehead lumps. Ultrasound imaging of the lumps and later of the abdomen picked up a right renal tumour which led to further computed tomography and bone scans. The bone scan confirmed that the forehead lump was a calvarial metastasis and such a presentation for metastatic RCC is very rare which bears a significantly poorer prognosis.
我们报告了一例罕见的晚期转移性肾细胞癌病例,该患者最初因背部和前额肿块就诊。对肿块以及随后对腹部进行的超声检查发现了右肾肿瘤,进而进行了进一步的计算机断层扫描和骨扫描。骨扫描证实前额肿块为颅骨转移,转移性肾细胞癌出现这种表现非常罕见,且预后明显较差。
