The role of percutaneous tumour biopsies had gain importance in the management of renal cell carcinoma to provide diagnostic specimen for the patients with metastatic disease that could benefit a systemic treatment. Among the possible complications of this procedure, however, there is the risk of tumoral cells seeding along the biopsy's tract; this complication, albeit being reported as anecdotal, could have devastating effects. Here we report a case of a young male who developed subcutaneous chest metastasis of renal cell carcinoma after a biopsy of a lung nodule. We subsequently reviewed other cases reported in literature.
经皮肿瘤活检在肾细胞癌的治疗中发挥着越来越重要的作用，可为转移性疾病患者提供诊断标本，使其有可能从全身治疗中获益。然而，在该操作可能出现的并发症中，存在肿瘤细胞沿活检通道播散的风险；这种并发症尽管报道较少，但可能产生毁灭性影响。在此，我们报告一例年轻男性患者，在肺结节活检后发生了肾细胞癌的胸部皮下转移。随后，我们回顾了文献中报道的其他病例。
