Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über einen 66 Jahre alten Mann mit Zustand nach Nephrektomie rechts aufgrund eines Nierenzellkarzinoms. Ein Jahr nach Diagnosestellung trat eine ossäre Metastase im rechten Femur auf, welche reseziert wurde. Nachfolgende Untersuchungen inklusive PET-CT zeigten kein Rezidiv. 3,5 Jahre nach Erstdiagnose trat ein testikulärer Tumor rechts auf, sodass eine Ablatio testis durchgeführt wurde. Die Histologie zeigte eine testikuläre Metastase des Nierenkarzinoms. Dieser Fall zeigt die teilweise ungewöhnlichen Metastasierungswege des Nierenzellkarzinoms.

Abstract

We report on a 66-year-old man after nephrectomy of the right kidney because of renal cell carcinoma. One year after diagnosis, an osseous metastasis of the right femur occurred and was resected. The following investigations, including positron emission tomography/computed tomography, showed no relapse. Three and a half years after diagnosis, the patient developed a testicular tumor of the right hemiscrotum, which was treated by testicular ablation. The histological investigation showed a testicular metastasis of renal cancer. This case represents one of the unusual forms of metastatic invasion of renal cell cancer.
