Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) exhibits a propensity for unusual wide metastasis. Cutaneous metastasis from RCC is a rare and poorly recognized clinical entity. We present a case of cutaneous metastasis of poorly differentiated RCC in 49-year-old male patient. In the presented case, the skin lesion was the first sign of widely spread RCC. After the establishment of the diagnosis using radiological and histopathological assessments, the patient was labeled as a terminal case and was referred for pain management. He deceased after 6 months of the initial presentation.
