Abstract

A 74-year-old female with skin metastasis of renal cell carcinoma is described.She noticed her cutaneous lesion on her left lower abdomen about three years before visiting our dermatological outpatient clinic. The lesion gradually enlarged and multiple nodule developed on the other parts of the body.The biopsy was taken from the lesion on the right arm. On microscopic findings, the metastasis of renal cell carcinoma was suggested. An examination of whole body was performed and renal cell carcinoma of left kidney was discovered. Systemic and multi-organ involvement were also observed.This case is rare because the patient had a large number of metastatic skin lesions up to 62. In addition, she lived at least 3 years after the metastasis of the skin. It is relatively a long period for the patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
