Abstract:
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presenting with multiple deposits in the head and
neck region is unusual. It is not uncommon for a RCC to metastasise to a distant site after years of
a tumour-free period, but most of it would be expected to have a single site of deposit. We report a
rare case of a patient who had a nephrectomy 10 years earlier for RCC and presented with tumours
in the frontal sinus and posterior pharyngeal wall. Radiological imaging and histology confirmed
metastatic RCC at both sites.
