Vertebral lesions in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) are usually assumed to be metastatic. Synchronous malignancies are a rare occurrence. Association between Multiple myeloma (MM) and RCC has been described in the past. Common risk factors and similar cytokine growth requirements could be the linking factors. Here, we describe a patient who had RCC and on evaluation of the vertebral lesion, was found to have Multiple myeloma. We would like to highlight the fact that not all vertebral lesions in RCC are metastatic. Appropriate evaluation for the vertebral lesion would provide holistic treatment in such patients and improve outcomes.
肾细胞癌（RCC）患者的椎体病变通常被认为是转移性的。同时发生的恶性肿瘤很少见。过去曾描述过多发性骨髓瘤（MM）与RCC之间的关联。常见的风险因素和相似的细胞因子生长需求可能是联系因素。在此，我们描述了一名患有RCC的患者，在对椎体病变进行评估时，发现患有多发性骨髓瘤。我们想强调的是，并非所有RCC患者的椎体病变都是转移性的。对椎体病变进行适当评估将为这类患者提供全面治疗并改善预后。
