Abstract

Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the vaginal wall has rarely been reported in the literature. We present a case of a 48-year-old who was found to have a solitary RCC metastasis at the vaginal wall, five years following radical nephrectomy. This case is noteworthy because this late presentation is unique, with prior reports of synchronous metastasis or metastasis within two years of nephrectomy, highlighting the need to consider metastatic RCC to the vagina a possibility even many years after treatment.

Keywords: Metastasis; Renal cell carcinoma; Vagina.
