Metastasis to the gallbladder from renal carcinoma - a case report
Onkol. Prak. Klin 2009;5(6):261-262.
Abstract
Metastases of renal carcinoma to the gastrointestinal tract are very seldom reported in the medical literature.
Case of 73-year old female patient with clear cell renal carcinoma was described. Cholecystectomy
was performed due to cholecystolithias 32 months after nephrectomy. Metastasis of renal carcinoma coexisting
with cholecystolithias was revealed on the basis of pathological examination of the excised material.
Keywords: clear cell renal carcinomametastasis to the gallbladder
