Abstract

Metachronous metastasis from renal cell cancer (RCC) after radical surgery can occur in up to one third of patients, most commonly from clear cell RCC. Metastatectomy is a suitable management strategy in oligometastatic disease. We present the case of a 78-year-old woman who developed haematuria 2 years after left radical nephroureterectomy for a pT3aNx chromophobe RCC (ChRCC). No adjuvant therapy was given and surveillance to date was negative for metastasis. A large solitary bladder tumour which was resected, and histopathology confirmed intravesical recurrence of the ChRCC. We present this case and discuss intravesical recurrences of renal cancer.
