Case ReportsRenal Cell Carcinoma of Pelvic Kidney with Atypical Nodal Metastasis: A Diagnostic Challenge.
Ectopic pelvic kidney is a known congenital anomaly; however, the presence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in an ectopic kidney is rare with the evidence available in the form of a few case reports only. In this case report, we present a case of metastatic RCC in the pelvic kidney which became a diagnostic challenge because of atypical contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) characteristics and unusual pattern of lymph node involvement including cervical lymph node in the absence of visceral metastasis. ⋯ Owing to the rarity of this condition, optimal surgical approach, metastatic potential, routes of metastasis, and effectiveness of systemic agents in pelvic RCC compared to RCC in a normally located kidney, are largely unknown. Key Words: Renal cell carcinoma, Pelvic kidney, Lymph node metastasis.
