A Journey from Renal Cell Carcinoma to Intestinal Metastasis: A Case Report
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common primary renal cancers.Its metastasis to the duodenum is a rare occurrence.Commonly reported symptoms are bleeding, anaemia, and flank pain.This report discusses a case of a 74-year old male with no known comorbidities, who was diagnosed with clear cell RCC in 2008.The patient underwent a left radical nephrectomy in 2008, followed by a right partial nephrectomy in 2016.In 2023, he presented with an ulcerated polyp located in the D1 region during an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) examination.It is essential to assess RCC for any distant metastases.Additionally, when a patient is presented with severe multiple symptoms, prompt diagnosis and early intervention should be prioritised for effective management.
