Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignant tumor arising from the epithelial cells of kidney tubules. It may metastasize to many sites; however, metastasis of RCC to the appendix is very rare. Renal cell carcinomas usually metastasize to the lungs, lymph nodes, bones, or liver. Metastasis usually occurs within three years after radical nephrectomy; however, there is evidence of RCC metastasis many years following nephrectomy.
肾细胞癌(RCC)是一种起源于肾小管上皮细胞的恶性肿瘤。它可能转移至许多部位;然而,肾细胞癌转移至阑尾非常罕见。肾细胞癌通常转移至肺、淋巴结、骨或肝。转移通常发生在根治性肾切除术后三年内;然而,有证据表明肾细胞癌在肾切除术后多年才发生转移。
