Isolated pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is relatively rare and it's usually seen in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC), but its occurrence from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC) is extremely rare, due to its relatively low-grade metastatic potential.
Presentation Of Case: The authors report an unusual case of metachronous isolated pancreatic metastasis, in a 65-year-old female patient two years after left nephrectomy for chRCC, diagnosed during routine surveillance imaging and confirmed after a CT-guided pancreatic biopsy.
Introduction: Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is one of the most aggressive and lethal malignancies in pediatric oncology, MRT of the kidney is an uncommon renal tumor in children and it's extremely rare in adult patients. With only seven previously reported adult cases in the English-literature, to our knowledge this is the first case that is associated with renal calculi.

The suggested diagnosis was a malignant retroperitoneal tumor and the patient underwent an excision of the tumor throw a lombotomy followed by an R-CHOP chemotherapy regimen with good outcome.
