Isolated contralateral adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma: A rare presentation and review of literature
Journal Title: Journal of Medical and Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma is an aggressive tumour with high metastatic potential. It is known for haematogenous metastasis to any part of the body.Ipsilateral adrenal gland is involved by direct spread or haematogenously in 2-10% of patients but contralateral adrenal gland metastasis is extremely rare and accounts for 0.19% of cases. A case of isolated contralateral adrenal metastasis in a patient with renal cell carcinoma is discussed.
