Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts above 3 percent of all cancers and often diagnosed incidentally. Highest incidence reported in Western countries. Classical tried of RCC now rarely seen, In about 25 percent of cases, patients often present with an advanced disease. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding due to stomach metastasis of RCC is rare and to the best of our knowledge, only a few cases are reported in the literature. Gastric metastasis of RCC is often associated with poor outcome. Managing such cases can be very tricky; hence it is imperative for surgeons to be very familiar and to have a high grade of suspicion in order to prevent delay and upgrade of tumour staging. We report the case of a patient presented to our centre with upper GI bleeding as the primary presenting complaint in an advanced RCC and our experience managing the condition.
