Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Bilateral Renal Metastases: A Rare Presentation with Literature Review

Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare malignancy of the lower gastrointestinal tract, with distant metastases typically involving the liver and lungs. Metastasis to the kidneys is uncommon, and only one prior case has been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare presentation of a patient with biopsy-confirmed metastatic ASCC presenting as bilateral renal lesions. We then provide a review of the literature for rare metastatic presentations of ASCC, highlighting all the cases described in the literature. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for unusual metastatic sites, perform targeted imaging and biopsy when indicated, and consider systemic therapies to optimize outcomes in rare metastatic presentations.

Abstract

Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare malignancy of the lower gastrointestinal tract, with distant metastases typically involving the liver and lungs. Metastasis to the kidneys is uncommon, and only one prior case has been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare presentation of a patient with biopsy-confirmed metastatic ASCC presenting as bilateral renal lesions. We then provide a review of the literature for rare metastatic presentations of ASCC, highlighting all the cases described in the literature. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for unusual metastatic sites, perform targeted imaging and biopsy when indicated, and consider systemic therapies to optimize outcomes in rare metastatic presentations.
