Background: Sinonasal renal cell-like adenocarcinoma is rare and exhibits unique pathological and clinical manifestations. Correct diagnosis and treatment of this newly described entity are challenging for both clinicians and pathologists.
Methods: We report a female patient with sinonasal renal cell-like adenocarcinoma who initially presented with right intermittent epistaxis.
Results: A 26-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of right intermittent epistaxis and hyposmia. Nasal endoscopy revealed a reddish tumor in the right nasal cavity. An MRI revealed a hyperintense tumor arising from the right olfactory cleft accompanied by prominent feeding vessels originating from the anterior ethmoid artery (AEA). We performed a bicoronal incision with ligation of the AEA followed by endoscopic resection of the skull base tumor. The patient is currently free of recurrence.
Conclusion: This is the first study to review the clinical features of sinonasal renal cell-like adenocarcinoma. We recommend surgical resection as the mainstay of treatment.

This case report highlights a rare case of renal cell carcinoma metastasis to nose and paranasal sinuses in a 55-year-old male 8 years post-nephrectomy. Contrast imaging revealed a vascular mass and histopathology confirmed metastatic RCC. Partial maxillectomy was done and patient remained disease free at 6 month follow up.

Although metastases to the paranasal sinuses are exceedingly rare, when they do occur, renal clear cell carcinoma is the most frequent primary tumor involved. The aim of this work was to present a case of metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma in the frontal sinus and orbit region, 7 years after the initial diagnosis and treatment. The patient was referred to our clinic due to drooping of the left eyelid and displacement of the left eyeball.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor, accounting for 1% of all head and neck cancers, with an aggressive nature characterized by local recurrence, delayed metastasis, and survival of less than 50% at 10 years. This is a case of biopsy-proven ACC to the kidney, 1 of 29 known occurrences, managed by metastasectomy by robotic-assisted nephrectomy, with plans for resection of lung metastasis. Thirteen years after diagnosis of sinonasal ACC treated with resection, the patient presented with shortness of breath.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a pauci-immune vasculitis typically involving upper and lower respiratory tract involvement and crescentic glomerulonephritis. Salivary gland involvement in GPA is rare. When it occurs in GPA, it is commonly seen with sinonasal and lung involvement and rarely with renal involvement.
