Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma occasionally presents in an unusual manner.
AIM: To report the rare presentation of renal cell carcinoma as a scalp swelling.
METHOD: The case record of a patient with renal cell carcinoma and the literature on the disease were reviewed.
RESULT: A 42-year old woman presented with a scalp swelling. Haematuria was missed at the first visit until she volunteered it on a subsequent visit. Investigations suggested renal cell carcinoma. This was confirmed following a right nephrectomy. The scalp lesion was a metastasis extending through the skull into the intracranial compartment. She was not given any systemic drugs because none was available. She survived until she was lost to follow up.
CONCLUSION: Haematuria remains an important symptom of renal cell cancer and should be elicited during systemic enquiry.
