Isolated gall bladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2006 May-Jun;25(3):161-2.

Abstract

Gall bladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is rare. We report a 46-year-old man with isolated gall bladder metastasis from renal cell carcinoma 11 months after radical nephrectomy. He underwent cholecystectomy and frozen section revealed the metastatic tumor. Sixteen months later, the patient is free of disease.
