Sumario:Metastatic renal cell carcinoma is potentially a lethal disease with in some cases aggressive behavior. The given fact that the patterns of metastases from RCC are not clearly identified, which may involve some rare metastatic locations. We present a case of 58 years old male presented with painless left scrotal mass, which was discovered to be an intrascrotal metastases appeared 3 years after nephrectomy for ipsilateral renal cell carcinoma. We believe that the rarity of the metastatic site and the intriguing possible mechanism of spread make an interesting case for clinicians and could add more follow-up measures for patients treated from renal cell carcinoma.
