Abstract
- Variable clinical manifestations and the unpredictable biological behavior of renal cell carcinomas are well known. About a third of patients have metastasis by the time they are first seen by a physician, most commonly to the lung, frequently to the bone and/or liver and less commonly to a virtually unlimited range of tissues and organs. Vaginal cancer represents approximately 1-3% of all genital tract malignancies, and most cases present as metastasis from the cervix, endometrium or colon. Vaginal metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma can be confused with a primary vaginal clear cell carcinoma, and metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma to the vagina is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of a renal cell carcinoma, detected by a metastatic vaginal mass.
