Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is well known for its tendency to metastasize early to the lung, bone, and liver, but skeletal muscle is an extremely unusual site of metastasis. We report here on an unusual case with numerous skeletal muscle metastases in the posterior abdominal wall and buttock 2 years after radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma.
