| Popis: | Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) may present as metastatic disease. However, RCC with solitary sternal metastasis is rare. We report a rare case of RCC with synchronous solitary sternal metastasis. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy, sternal tumour resection and reconstruction as a one-stage procedure. The role of open sternal biopsy is also described. Review of the literature was carried out and a reasonably lengthy survival was observed. We concluded that radical surgical resection and reconstruction may offer the best chance of survival in managing RCC with solitary sternal metastasis in renal cell carcinoma. |
