Metastasis from renal cell carcinoma to the cervix uteri

Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1998 Jul;32(4):290-2. doi: 10.1080/003655998750015476.

Abstract

We report on a patient with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the left kidney and a solitary metastasis to the cervix uteri. Metastases from renal cell carcinoma to the female genitalia are uncommon and metastatic involvement of the uterus is very rare. To our knowledge, no more then five cases have been published. A review of the literature is given.
