Abstract :
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the seventh most frequently diagnosed cancer, is known for its predilection to metastasize to any organ, most commonly the lungs, lymph nodes, bone, and liver. While metastasis to the skeletal muscles is considered unusual, RCC is among the more common primary tumors to metastasise to this type of tissue. We present the case of a 67–year–old patient with no significant personal history was presenting for palpable tumor mass in the right thigh which was increasing in size for the past one and a half years. The MRI examination of the region showed a tumor mass at the biceps femoris muscle. It was first consider a primary neoplasia, considering that the patient had no medical history of any kind. CT scan of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis, native and with contrast to assess possible metastasis, and it concluded that the patient had a malignant featured tumor on the left kidney. A biopsy was performed from the muscular lesion witch established the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma metastasis.
