AI Article Synopsis

  • Skeletal muscle metastasis is uncommon in renal cell carcinoma, with only 32 cases documented.
  • A 69-year-old female with a history of right RCC underwent regular follow-ups post-nephrectomy for 12 years.
  • After a CT scan revealed a 3 cm mass in her iliopsoas muscle, a biopsy confirmed it to be metastatic renal cell carcinoma, leading to surgical removal of the tumor.

Article Abstract

Skeletal muscle metastasis is a rare event in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Only thirty-two cases have been reported until now. A 69-year-old female had a nephrectomy for right RCC (clear cell carcinoma, grade 2, pT1) in 1994. She has been followed up every three months after nephrectomy. After twelve years from nephrectomy, computed tomography (CT) showed a 3 cm mass in the right iliopsoas muscle. CT guided needle biopsy revealed tumor cells suspicious of renal cell carcinoma metastasis. The tumor was surgically removed and histologically diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma metastasized to the iliopsoas muscle.
