Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the kidney may metastasize to many organs and remain undetected for years. We present three illustrative cases of patients who had solitary recurrences in unusual locations; two of the three presented more than eight years after having undergone nephrectomy. Recognition of these unusual presentations is important in proper patient management.
