Abstract:
Renal cell carcinoma may metastasize to various portions of the body but dissemination to the prostate is very rare. The presenting symptom of a 79 year old man was acute urinary retention which was clinically thought to be benign prostatic hyperplasia. Radical nephrectomy was performed 22 months ago due to renal cell carcinoma. The histologic examination of the transurethral resection specimen demonstrated metastatic renal cell carcinoma and there was no distant metastasis except the lymph node.
