Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) metastases from Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) are rare. RCC with GI tract metastasis generally manifests with bleeding and obstruction, but RCC with small-bowel metastases-related intussusception accompanied by multiple GI tract involvement is an extremely rare pathology. A 62-year-old woman presented to our hospital with melena and anemia caused by GI bleeding and recent acute abdominal pain with obstruction. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography revealed small-bowel intussusception and stomach polyp. The patient was diagnosed with RCC with lung and brain metastases and subsequently underwent gamma knife radiosurgery and sunitinib therapy. Intraoperative findings included a 3 ? 3 cm2 intramural mass 50 cm distal to the Treitz ligament, determined to be the leading point of the intussusception, two other small-bowel lesions with intramural polypoid masses, and serosa erosion distal to the ileocecal valve (40 cm and 100 cm, respectively). Three small-bowel segmental resections with endto-end anastomosis were performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Pathologic results confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic RCC. RCC with small-bowel metastases is relatively rare. Most small intestinal metastases are associated with malignant melanomas. However, GI tract metastasis may occur in patients with a known history of RCC who present with GI symptoms and signs. Our patient presented with small-bowel intussusception and stomach polypoid. The final pathology revealed stomach and small-bowel metastases and clear cell-type RCC. This is an unusual finding among cases of bowel metastasis from RCC reported in the literature from 2006 to the present.
