Abstract

The Authors present an additional case of a 70-years old male patient with skin metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, 15 months after nephrectomy. The patient died ten months later for advanced neoplastic disease. Skin metastasis affect 3-6% of patients with renal cell carcinoma. The surgical treatment is mandatory for single nodule. Chemotherapy is often ineffectual. The prognosis is poor, with a 0-8% 5-years survival for patients with multiple nodules.
