Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) may metastasize to almost any organ, but bowel metastases are highly unusual. A 75-year-old man presented with symptoms and signs of severe anaemia due to bowel bleeding and abdominal pain due to recurrent bowel intussusception. The patient underwent surgery and was identified to have intraluminal metastases from metastatic RCC. To the best of our knowledge, few cases of metastases from RCC manifesting as synchronous intraluminal polypoid tumours have been described in the literature. The present report focused on the importance of two aspects that must be considered: The role of accurate diagnosis and of surgery treating intestinal metastases that may lead to symptom control and prolonged survival.
