Abstract
- Metastatic renal cell carcinoma is renowned for its potency to spread to almost any organ of the body; however metastasis to the gall bladder is very rare. We present a case of a 48 year old man who initially demonstrated renal cell carcinoma, and in who gallbladder metastasis was later detected. A review of the literature revealed only a small number of cases of renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to the gallbladder, and these were primary found upon necropsy. Gall-bladder metastasis in this case was detected clinically.
