Distant Metastases From a Small Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) less than 3 cm in diameter rarely metastasizes. In this report, we present the case of a metastatic RCC in which the primary tumor was 1.6 cm. We further review the relevant literature to highlight this rare but important clinical presentation.
