Heart Metastases of Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common genitourinary cancer. Of the several histologic types of RCC, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most frequent. Due to the development of imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the incidence of ccRCC di...

description | Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common genitourinary cancer. Of the several histologic types of RCC, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most frequent. Due to the development of imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the incidence of ccRCC diagnosis has increased rapidly. However, up to one third of patients at prime diagnosis of ccRCC are at metastatic stadium of the disease. Metastases of ccRCC are found mostly in the lungs, bones and liver. Metastasis of ccRCC to the heart is an uncommon clinical situation. We present a rare case of metastatic stadium of ccRCC with metastases to heart tissue visualized in transthoracic echocardiography. |
