Sumario:We report a rare case of advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma which initially presented to the clinic with back and forehead lumps.

The bone scan confirmed that the forehead lump was a calvarial metastasis and such a presentation for metastatic RCC is very rare which bears a significantly poorer prognosis.
