An Unusual Case of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Approximately 340 patients are diagnosed with renal cell cancer (RCC) in Ireland each year. Metastatic spread to the lung, lymph nodes and bones is common. Metastatic spread to the gastrointestinal tract, including the small bowel, is a rare phenomenon. Therapeutic advances have led to an improved o...

description Approximately 340 patients are diagnosed with renal cell cancer (RCC) in Ireland each year. Metastatic spread to the lung, lymph nodes and bones is common. Metastatic spread to the gastrointestinal tract, including the small bowel, is a rare phenomenon. Therapeutic advances have led to an improved overall survival in RCC and, as a result, unusual sites of metastatic spread are becoming more common. We present the case of a 68-year-old gentleman presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of metastases to the duodenum from renal cell carcinoma.
