Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma commonly metastasizes to different organs. The metastasis to duodenum is rare and few cases have been reported till date. We hereby report a case of renal cell carcinoma that presented with abdominal pain after one year of treatment completion. Whole Body PET Scan found a metabolically active lesion in duodenum that was missed on Ultrasound whole abdomen. ERCP guided biopsy reported it as metastatic adenocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry was conclusive. He was staged as Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Stage IV and started on oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Metastasis from renal cell cancer should be suspected in a treated patient who presents late with abdominal pain. A complete evaluation and appropriate management are warranted. Early detection helps in planning further therapy.
